SATURDAY SCHOOL

Students may be assigned Saturday School by the principal for violations of school rules and/or the opportunity to make up class time missed due to excessive absences thereby restoring eligibility for credit. Saturday School will be held at the high school from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. on the third Saturday of the month whenever possible. Dates can change due to conflict with other school-related activities outside the control of the high school (i.e., ACT testing, school holidays, etc.). It should be understood that it is not always possible to change the dates in order to avoid all conflicts that could arise. Rules and Regulations:

• Parents will be notified prior to the student being assigned Saturday School.
• For students wanting to make up an absence(s), attendance will be voluntary. Each hour served will make up one absence for one period missed.
• The sole activity allowed in Saturday School is silent study; therefore, students are responsible for bringing sufficient study materials to keep them busy for the entire period. A library book may be read upon completion of work. The student must notify the teacher (s) before attending Saturday School and must get a form signed to indicate the class from which the student wants to remove the absence (s).
• Students assigned to Saturday School must report on time and sign in. If a student is late, they may not be admitted. Discretion will be left to the teacher in charge.
• Students attending for rules violations will be suspended out of school for three school days if they are late or absent.
• Students involved in extracurricular activities on an assigned day due to rules violations may not participate in any kind of activities, including practice and competition, prior to completion of the Saturday School obligation.
• Work, oversleeping, or transportation problems are not valid reasons for missing.

The name of the certified staff member running Saturday School each month will be made available in advance to the student body so those needing additional help in a particular class may attend as well at their convenience.
