Seniors--Early senior privileges are scheduled to begin on February
24th. You will not receive early privileges on February 24th if you
have had any unexcused absences this school year, suspensions for
behavior, or more than one grade of a "D" at the time of early granting.
Please read the handbook regarding the criteria for early senior
privileges as well as the requirements for maintaining privileges
throughout the remainder of the year, most specifically the GPA and
grade requirements. Seniors will not receive privileges until all senior pictures have been remitted. You
will receive an e-mail from me on February 21st if you are not eligible
for early senior privileges. Please see me with any questions, Dr.
Schwan.
