Just as a heads-up for the month of February, there will be no Burns Sports Drops on the following dates:
     February 4, 19, 25 and 26

ALL Students are eligible this week. The WARNING WEEK LIST for Q3 has been pulled and students were given notices if they were failing any classes. ALL students will be eligible this week, however, this does count as the 1st week of ineligibility for any one class.   LCSD#2 policy states that a student is ineligible to participate in extra-curricular activities if they have deficiencies in any two (2) classes or are deficient in any class for three (3) consecutive weeks with ineligibility beginning the fourth (4th) week.  If you have any questions about student eligibility please feel free to call the office.  

Quarterly Attendance Letters are mailed weekly.  To clarify the present policy each quarter you will receive a letter as follows:

1. 1st letter @ 3 absences in any one class period for the quarter.

2. 2nd letter @ 4 absences in any one class period for the quarter.

3.  3rd letter sent by certified mail @ the 5th absence in any one class for the quarter.
    This letter will ask you to come in with your student to conference with the Principal and 
    make an Attendance Contract that specifically states how many absences are left in the
    semester before your student will lose credit in each specific class/es.

4. FINALLY any student under contract or not, who has 10 absences for the semester will
    lose credit for the class/es.  The final decision to withhold credit lies with the Principal.

PLEASE NOTE  the following attendance codes are some of the absence codes that are equal to being present at school:  S, B, R, I.

The following absence codes are recorded as absences but are EXEMPT from the attendance policy:  M = Medical Note, F=Family Emergency (given at the discretion of the Principal).

REMINDER:  3 tardies (T) = 1 absence. A medical note will erase a tardy. The attendance code D=early dismissal from a class and represents 1/3 of an absence it can also be erased by a medical note. 

If you have any questions about the Attendance Policy please feel free to call the office.

Starting on Tuesday, September 8, GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs), sponsored by LCCC, will be available for free tutoring in all subjects to all students on Tuesdays and Thursday from 3:05-4:05, in the commons area. Students staying for this service will NOT be able to ride the sports drop busses home so please make your own transportation arrangements.
For more information call Nicole Pritchard @ 432-1665.
