The PART program allows senior students more independence, responsibility, and flexibility during the day.  PART is a privilege granted to students.  To be eligible for PART, a senior must meet these minimum requirements.

 

1.) Attendance

A senior who has six or more absences the previous trimester will not be eligible for PART.  Included in the six absences are any excused or unexcused absences that the student has accumulated.  Any student that reaches six absences in a trimester will lose their release time and will be assigned to a study hall.

 

Days that will not be counted towards the six are pre-approved absences, school related absences, or chronic health conditions.

 

Any student with 3 or more unexcused absences will not be granted PART for the next trimester and will be pulled from PART during the current trimester.

 

2.) Academics

A senior must maintain a 2.0 GPA for the previous trimester.   Any student who receives a failing midterm grade will lose their release time for the remainder of the trimester.  Any student who fails a class the previous trimester will automatically be ineligible for PART.

 

3.) Behavior

Seniors that have been granted PART are expected to maintain excellent behavior.

Any behavior that is of such severity as to cause a suspension may be cause for loss of PART.  Examples of suspension related offenses are: insubordination, harassment, fighting, and truancy.

 

4.) Credits

A senior must have a minimum of 56 credits and be on track to graduate.

 

PART is available for the first/second hour in the morning or the eighth/ninth hour of the day.  Students who have release time in the morning must sign in at the office on a daily basis for attendance purposes.  Students who have release time in the afternoon are required to sign out.  Failure to do this will result in loss of the PART privilege.

 

Parents assume responsibility and are accountable for their student during the release time.
