Continuation Guidlines

8^TH GRADERS: 2^ND SEMESTER STARTS JANUARY 5REMEMBER THE APS CONTINUATION GUIDELINES 

Eight Grade Parents:

As we begin second quarter I wanted to take a moment to remind students and parents of the APS Continuation Guidelines:

TARDIES

Students may not attend continuation or related activities if he/she has

more than 10 tardies the 2^nd semester of school.

ABSENCES

Students may not attend continuation or related activities if he/she has

 more than 5 unexcused absences the 2^nd semester of school.

TRUANCIES

It will be left to the administration’s discretion to determine if a student’s involvement in the CARB process, or involvement in court, may attend continuation or related activities.

BEHAVIOR

Students may not attend continuation or related activities if he/she has

more than 2 incidents that resulted in suspension the 2^nd semester of school.

IN HOUSE SUSPENSION

Students may not attend continuation or related activities if he/she was assigned

“In-House” (PASS room detention) more that 3 times with a written referral for behavior the 2^nd semester of school.

ACADEMICS

Students may not attend continuation or related activities if he/she has

more than 1 F the 2^nd semester of school.

We will begin monitoring this information at the beginning of second semester, Monday January 5, 2009.  It is our goal that every eighth grade student is eligible for continuation.  Please go over these requirements with your students now so we can get students to practice good habits prior to second semester.
