Through NHS chapter service activities, members maintain and extend the qualities that earned them selection. Service hours to school, church, and community are an expectation of continued membership. Membership is also both an honor and a commitment. Therefore, an incident of academic dishonesty or non-participation in the service requirement by sitting members may be grounds for immediate dismissal from NHS.
The Padua Franciscan St. Bonaventure Chapter of the NHS has established the following criteria for membership eligibility:
1. Only current Juniors who meet the criteria are eligible for NHS.
2. Students must first meet a basic cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher at the end
of the
1st semester Junior year.
3. Students on disciplinary probation may not be eligible for consideration.
4. Students not on disciplinary probation but found guilty of a serious infraction or unethical
conduct, may not be eligible for consideration.
5. Known incidents of academic dishonesty could be grounds for non-eligibility of applicants.
6. Transfer-in students must complete one full semester to be eligible for consideration.
PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
Parent-Teacher conferences will take place in our cafeteria during the second week after the end of the first quarter and midway through the 3rd quarter.
We expect that all parents will take advantage of these opportunities to talk with the teachers. Parents should bring their child to the conference. Private conferences of about five minutes are held between the teacher and an individual student's parent(s). These conferences are arranged for all parents and are set up for the benefit of each individual student. No appointment is necessary.
PARKING AND DRIVING
The front driveway is a one-way road, from east to west, at all times.
The right lane is the student drop off lane. Please drop off students anywhere along the sidewalk. The left lane will now be for through traffic only. Please do not drop students off from the left lane.
Padua Franciscan considers driving a car a privilege. It is a serious responsibility to drive on the properties of St. Anthony and Padua because of elementary and high school student pedestrians. Students are expected to drive slowly and with caution.
Due to limited parking availability, sophomores will not be granted parking privileges under normal circumstances. All spots are reserved for juniors, seniors, faculty, and staff.
All students who wish to park their vehicles on Padua premises are governed by the following norms: 1. The cost of a permit is $150 per year. Students must complete a parking form in MyPad. Additional information may be required as well (car registration, driver’s license etc.).
a. During 2022-23, Padua is offering a Ride Share Plan. It is a cost-saving and environmentally-friendly parking option for students. The Ride Share Plan came out of Padua’s Franciscan mission to care for creation and reduce our carbon footprint. The normal cost of a parking
