General Information

          13.  *Fees  –  A  fee  is  assessed  in  most  courses  in  which  workbooks  and  practice  sets  are   required.
               Supplementary readings or consumable supplies are necessary.  Fees for any   courses listed are the
               previous  year’s  fees  and  serve  only  as  an  estimated  cost  for  the  upcoming  school  year.    Several
               supplemental  charges  may  be  assessed  above  and  beyond  the  course  fees  listed.    Some  items  are
               purposely not included in course fees.  For example, goggles for science class can be used year after
               year if properly maintained; an older sibling may have already purchased paperbacks; students may
               want to use different qualities of materials in industrial arts projects; etc.  Updated fees for all courses
               are kept on file in the curriculum office. *If school fees are not up to date on payment, school dances
               and graduation will be impacted. *

          14.  School Day – The school day consists of 8 periods.  One period must be set aside for lunch; therefore,
               students will have seven periods to work with in planning course selections.

          15.  Physical Education Waiver – Students must take at least 1 semester (.25 credit) of Physical Education
               within  grades  9  or  10.  Students  may  then  waive  the  other  half  (.25  credit)  of  the  PE  graduation
               requirement by completing two full seasons of athletics, cheerleading or marching band. No credit or
               grade will be earned for the Physical Education waiver. Participation in athletics, marching band,
               or cheerleading prior to the 2014-2015 school year does not apply. The two seasons of athletics,
               marching band, or cheerleading must be completed prior to second semester of the student’s
               senior year. If the student has not completed the two seasons prior to the second semester  of
               his/her senior year, the student must enroll in Physical Education to complete his/her physical
               education requirement.

          16.  Athletic and extracurricular eligibility – The report card is the school’s report to the students and
               parents, giving the pupil’s achievement and attendance record.  To be eligible, a student in athletics
               and extracurricular activities must have earned passing grades in a minimum of five, one-credit
               courses, or the equivalent, in the preceding grading period; have no failing grade in any subject
               during the previous grading period; and earn a minimum grade point average of 1.5 for the nine
               weeks prior to the desired extracurricular activity.  It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of
               eligibility rules.

               NOTE:  Extracurricular is defined as any activity that is not a scheduled and graded part of the
               school day.  Please see the student handbook for more details concerning eligibility
