GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

Graduation: Please make sure you continue to monitor and review your student’s progress towards graduation. Know what graduation requirements they need to get their diploma. Please contact Guidance if you have any questions or concerns.

Ask your student… Have you completed 75 hours of community service? Have you completed your World of Work which consists of a resume and an interview? These components must be completed prior to graduation.

Are you a new student this year? Please check with your counselor because you will have hours to complete for community service and it will still be necessary for you to complete the World of Work component which occurred the first week in December.

Outstanding Obligations: If your student owes money, a signed Release of Records form, owes a textbook or material to the Media Center or to a Teacher, then they need to fulfill this obligation. Students will NOT receive their graduation tickets when they are distributed at the end of the year until this is done.

PB IS-Positive Behavioral Intervention System

For the month of December, over 231 PAWS were given out by classroom teachers to students for demonstrating PAW worthy, positive behaviors! Prizes included free entry winter sports passes, gift certificates, HHS gear, and free passes to go bowling!

Over the dates of January 30 and 31st, all eligible freshmen were taken on a "positive reward" field trip to enjoy FREE bowling as a reward for having zero “E’s,” and zero discipline referrals for the second quarter.

Save the date: August 11-12, 2008 will be the date of the incoming freshmen overnight orientation. This year, it will be held at Summit Lake which is in western Maryland. We are in need of a certified nurse to accompany us with the overnight trip as it is a requirement or we are not able to go. If you know of a certified and willing volunteer, please contact myself or Mr. Covington at Howard High School.

Thank you, and Keep It Positive!
