"FLOAT - Freshman Learning to Overcome Academic Tardiness"
Freshman students who have missing or late non-absence related classwork work
will be assigned an academic lunchtime detention called a FLOAT session.
Students will be able to recover 66% of the total grade from the missed work
by attending FLOAT. NO test grades may be made up during these sessions, only
classwork that a student failed to turn in when s/he was present in class.
Students will be given a card to have his/her parent sign acknowledging the
FLOAT session to be served within 24 hours. Students may bring a lunch from
home or may prearrange to have a cafeteria lunch bag waiting in the FLOAT
room. This is an effort to allow students to develop good habits by
completing and turning in classwork when it is due.
