Students with D's or F's
If your student has a D or F in any class I will continue to send phone
messages every Monday evening based on their grade as of 6 a.m. each
Monday morning. It is possible grades could change between the time I
run the report and send the message. If you ever have questions or concerns
please contact your students teacher. Thank you.

Interventions for students with Failing grades
We have two new interventions to support students.
IF a student has 2 more more F's in core classes they will be in IPLT (Intensive
Personal Learning Time) Monday - Thursday during PLT (Personal Learning Time) time
to focus on improving in those classes.
We also have an after-school intervention, Chief Intervention Accountability Option,
that is held after school from 3 - 4 p.m. in the library classroom Monday through Thursday.
Students must have an F in a core class to qualify for this intervention. Contact your
students teacher (math, science, social studies, or English) if your student has an F and
you'd like them to attend this intervention.

Does your student need a ride to school OR is your student looking to help students
in need of a ride? Chief Carpooling! 
If your student needs a ride to and/or from school on certain days and times or every day, sign up to be a rider and you will be matched with a student who can help!
If your student is looking to help their peers and earn volunteer hours, sign up to be a driver and help! WE ARE IN NEED OF APPROXIMATELY 10 DRIVERS. You can sign up for certain days and times or every day.


Arrival & Dismissal
As a reminder students can arrive/be dropped off as early at 7 a.m. and
classes begin at 7:50 a.m. Monday - Thursday and 8:20 a.m. on Friday's.
We dismiss at 2:50 everyday and students not under the direct supervision of a coach or
teacher must be picked up by 3:30 p.m. each day.
