Students with absences, remember if you have 5 unexcused absences in an annual course, or 3 unexcused absences in a semester course, you will receive a no credit for the class.  We are in a block schedule, therefore 5 unexcused absences in an annual course WILL result in 10 unexcused absences and WILL result in a no credit issued, 3 unexcused absences in a semester course will equal six and a no credit.  Remember if you are absent you MUST bring a note and receive an admit in student services to excuse your absence.  Do not be absent unnecessarily.  Students arriving tardy to school will be required to serve an Administrative Detention.  BE ON TIME!!! AND COME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY!!! Students with perfect attendance for the entire school year will have the opportunity to win a very special prize. If you have any questions please speak to Mrs. Forteza.
 
The Principal’s Word of the Day is
EGREGIOUS ( i GREE jus) adj. extremely bad; flagrant
Save this word for things that are worse than bad.
Stephen’s manners were egregious ; he ate his mashed potatoes with his fingers and slurped the peas right off his plate.
