 Daily Bulletin: Thursday, May 17, 2012     

 

BELL SCHEDULE:                  MAY    JUN (Last Day - June 14, Thursday)

ATHLETIC EARLY RELEASES: For all sporting news and athletic early release times go to: www.NorthgateBroncos.org        

GENERAL 

AP TESTING  (May7-18) ~ Same Attendance Procedures Apply (as stated on your AP Test form)
This is a reminder that the Attendance Procedures are the same as any other day of the year.
For this 2-week period, Students are coded for periods A-4 or 3-6 depending on their pre-assigned test(s).
ALL students are still required to attend periods 5/6 or A/1/2, depending on their test schedule. 
This means that arriving late (for periods 5 & 6) requires student check-in with the Attendance Office. If you are scheduled to leave for the later test period, you are already coded to leave at brunch (since you should be holding the AP form with a parent signature).  The Attendance Office receives a daily fax (by 730am) of students who have not checked into the Willow Creek Center at the required time.
Following the Attendance Rules (click here) will eliminate any misunderstanding and make life easier for everyone. And, of course, all students’ real-time attendance can be viewed in HomeLink.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
