standardized tests, & email teachers.

Attendance
• Extremely important, especially on block
scheduling.
• Students have 6 minute passing periods.
Students have a sufficient amount of time
during passing periods to get from point A to
point B so they should not be receiving tardy
marks.
Block Scheduling
• Students will meet every other day with their
classes. Green days are 1st, 3rd, 5th & 7th
periods. White days are 2nd, 4th, 6th, & 8th
periods
• Advisory Period-3rd period every other day.
Students can use this period to get help from
teachers, meet with tutors, use as a study hall.
Very important that students use this time
wisely!
• Organization is key on block
scheduling!

self control and digital citizenship.
• Saving documents-important to save to
