Early Dismissal for Co-curricular Activities

Many students must be excused from classes early in order to participate in events scheduled in other locations.  The time of departure from school will be as late as reasonably possible in order to minimize missed class time.  

In order to minimize the impact on academics, the following guidelines must be followed:

1. A student's first responsibility is his/her academic work.  Each student must understand that being dismissed from classes for participation in a co-curricular event is a privilege.  All schoolwork missed as a result of early dismissal shall be made up as soon as possible.  Teachers may require students to make up classes missed due to a co-curricular activity by mandating attendance for a period of time after school equivalent to the time missed, even if this results in missing practices.
2. If a student’s performance in the missed class is unsatisfactory, he/she will be subject to forfeiture of their early dismissal privilege.
3. Teachers must report to the school administration any student having the early dismissal privilege that is not doing acceptable work in class and may request forfeiture of that privilege.
4. Students who are involved in a situation requiring disciplinary action may forfeit their early dismissal privilege.
