CHHS Evening High School Notice of Required Attendance

 

Dear Parents and Students:

 Evening High School is funded by the Hardin County Schools’ Extended School Services for the purpose of allowing students to make up a failed credit in order to graduate on time.  Seniors have first priority to participate in this service.  There are many students who wish to take advantage of this opportunity.

 

The length of time needed to complete the course work depends solely on the motivation and self-pacing of each student.  Those who work hard can complete the course with a passing grade in a few weeks.  It requires determination, self-discipline, and regular attendance on the part of the student.

 

This service is free of charge to students currently enrolled in any of the Hardin County high schools.  Due to the high demand for these classes, any student who is absent four (4) unexcused times will be dropped from the program.  This attendance policy includes students who do not attend for the full 2 ˝ hours each night; four incomplete attendance days (tardies) will also result in that student being dropped from the program.  Dropped students may reapply, but will be placed at the bottom of the waiting list.

 

Excused absences from the regular school day are also excused from evening school. Students who attend during the regular school are expected to attend evening school.  Students may not leave early unless the parent signs them out.

 

Evening High School does NOT meet when school is not in session or on snow days.

 

To enroll, contact you grade level counselor.

Students

                It is a privilege to be given this second chance to earn credit; therefore, appropriate behavior is a must. You could be asked to go home if you do not comply. The rules and regulations in the Code of Conduct book apply to packet classes, summer school, Extended School Services (ESS), or evening high school.

Directions for Completion of Assignments

 

1.)    All of the work must be done at school. If the work is taken home, the student could be dismissed from the program and receive no credit.

 

2.)      Everything is written on the student’s own paper unless otherwise told.

 

3.)    Students must earn at least a 68% on all assignments. After all the assignments in the unit are complete and graded, the student will take a test.

 

4.)    Students will be allowed to redo assignments and take tests at least three (3) times to get a passing grade.

 

5.)    Students must earn at least a 68% on all tests.

 

6.)    After all assignments and unit tests have been completed, students will take a final exam.

 

7.)    Students must earn at least a 68% on the final exam.

 

8.)    Students are not allowed to use their books on the tests.

 

9.)    On each assignment that is completed the student should place the following information in the top right hand corner of the page.

                                                       Example:

                                                              Name:                         Jane Doe

                                                              Course:                      Algebra I

                                                              Part:                           Part I

                                                              Unit:                          Unit 2

   Assignment Number:       3

Note:

The final score for assignments, tests, or for the final exams may be less than 68. When students redo an assignment, test or final, the grades are averaged together to get the score for the assignment, test, or final exam. Follow the example below:

                        Unit I, Assignment 2

                        First Grade-                 60% failed, so student would make corrections.

                        Second Grade-             62% failed again, so student would make more corrections

                        Third Grade-                74% passed the assignment

                        Add the Grades-           196

                        Divide by 3                    65%-record the score

 

                            Unit II, Test 1

                        First Grade-                  58% failed, so student would study more and retake the test.

                        Second grade-               84% passed the test

                        Add the grades              142

                        Divide by 2                   71%-record the score

 

 10.) The Unit assignments, tests, and final exam each count as one third of the final grade.
