PASSES
Passes are required of all students who are not in their assigned place during the course of the school day. All students who are in the building prior to 7:45 a.m. are expected to be in the cafeteria, chapel, library, or with a teacher. Juniors and seniors are also permitted to be in their hall. During the course of the school day, passes are obtained from the teachers or staff. Any student out of class without a pass will be issued a detention.

PREGNANCY POLICY
An unmarried girl who becomes pregnant will not automatically be dismissed from school. The Principal will decide on continued attendance and subsequent return of both the boy and/or girl involved, after counseling with the student(s) and consultation with the student's parents. Each case will be determined individually considering the student's welfare, the protection of the unborn child, and the welfare of the school.
PROM
Because this is a special event in the lives of our seniors, "Prom Day" will be a free day for the members of the senior class. Underclassmen attending the prom do not have this privilege, but may request a half- day absence from the Assistant Principal of Men or Women.
The Padua prom is a specific school-sponsored event at a specific place during a specific time. This information is established yearly and provided to the students. Padua assumes no responsibility for the safety of students who choose to take part in other activities before or after the prom.
School rules, including those regarding tobacco, alcohol, and other controlled substances, apply at the prom as they do at other Padua sponsored functions.
Additional information and guidelines regarding prom are included in a special packet given to seniors in the spring. For clarification, please contact the school.
REPORT CARDS
Report cards are mailed to all parents/guardians each quarter. Report cards of students who have unfulfilled financial obligations toward the school will be withheld until these obligations have been satisfied.
Mid Quarter Grade Reports
Parents are encouraged to regularly monitor academic progress/grades online through Padua’s NetClassroom. Parents will receive a phone blast reminder to check NetClassroom for a Mid-Quarter Grade Report at the end of the fifth week of each quarter. These reports will include an interim grade and teacher comments. In the week following the mid quarter grade report, those students who have a C- or lower will be provided a progress report by the teacher. These reports should be brought home by the student, signed by a parent, and returned to the teacher.
RETREA TS
Retreats are an important part of our program of Christian formation at Padua Franciscan High School.
