Region 9

Hello,
Does anyone have any policies in place to address the dancing "styles", dress code, and behavior? At Fraser, we are looking to establish a norms for the dances including a "2 wristband" rule which addresses inappropriate dancing. Meaning, violate the rule and we take one wristband away. Violate the dancing rule again and we take the second one away and you have to go home.

Any ideas on what has worked at your school would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone currently operate and have success with a "school within a school" model specifically for the 9th grade population? If so, I would like to possibly arrange a visit to your school.

Good morning,
I am looking for data that supports implementing the EXPLORE test in 8th/9th grade and the PLAN test in 10th grade. If possible, I am also looking at the cost of the two programs as it relates to their actual impact on ACT test scores.

Thank you,

Have you altered your Credit Review policy in any way due to the new HS requirements and/or "cohort" group statistics?

I plan on offering an opportunity for students to complete any missing classwork/homework assignments.  Details are not yet complete, however I have envisioned a lunch time and afterschool "Academic Clinic" (name to be determined) that teachers will assign students to attend if they are missing "x" number of assignments.  Since this may be an after school time slot, bussing will be provided.  My purpose is to support students in order to avoid failures due to missing assignments or abscences.
