What is Activity Period?
Activity Period is a special privilege given to students who demonstrate responsibility for their assignments and appropriate behavior in and out of the classroom.  Students will have choice of games, crafts, or movies at the end of each month.  Students who do not meet the requirements will attend a Study Hall… Well, how do you make Activity Period?

• You must get your homework in on time for all classes

• You must demonstrate appropriate behavior by following school and classroom rules

• You can not attend Activity Period if you have been sent to the office for behavior PROBLEMS.

I hope that you are able to attend Activity Period all year long!

Homework
Students are responsible for turning in assignments on time.  Homework will count as 10% of your grade.
