Happy Friday Dragons!

The end of the first semester is quickly approaching! For our seventh through 12th graders we have implemented incentive days. The incentive days are based on a set of criteria.

To be excused from a final:

1. Student should be on their white (the first) conduct card.

2. Student has to have less than five absences in any one class.

3. If both the first criteria are met, then

a. Student with an A in a class and four or fewer absences will be exempt from that class's final.

b. If a student has three absences, they can have a class grade as low as a B.

If a you have a C in the class you are required to take the final.

Students will also have the option to take a final even if they’re not required to if they want to raise their grade. If the students choose to take the final even though they are not required to, their final can only help them it will not lower their grade.

The students that earn the incentive and are exempt from finals are still required to attend school on Wednesday, December 18 and Thursday, December 19 and there will be things planned for them to do.

For those who DO NOT have to take finals: On Wednesday, those exempt from finals will have activities in Salina as reward. On Thursday there will be things planned here at school.

The finals schedule for the seventh and eighth graders are as follows:

1. Finals will be two class periods long.

2. On Wednesday, the 18th students will take finals in first hour, third hour and seventh hour. Fifth hour is reading and they will have that time to study for finals on Thursday.

3. Thursday finals in second hour, fourth hour, sixth hour and eighth hour will be given.
