On Wednesday, May 14th, high school health
students will be attending a presentation by Rick Stoddard
in the High School East Auditorium. After losing his
wife to cancer caused by cigarette smoking, Rick Stoddard
completed a series of emotionally-charged, television and
radio public service announcements for the Massachusetts
Tobacco Control Program.
Rick Stoddard,
author of The Burning Truth, continues his mission by
speaking to youth and adults throughout American about the
dangers of tobacco use and the manipulative marketing
tactics of the tobacco industry. We look forward to Mr.
Stoddard’s powerful message and the profound impact it can
have on students’ health behaviors.
If you have
any questions about this event, please contact Colleen
Coletta, health teacher at High School East by telephone –
881-0310, ext. 61739 or by e-mail – colecoll@shenet.org. |

Student in the Class of 2009: Senior Privileges
Students in the
Class of 2009 will be eligible for senior privileges in September
if they are in good academic standing, adhere to the Code of
Conduct, and do not have unpaid financial obligations. To earn
senior privileges for next year as a senior, during 4th
quarter of junior year students are expected to show maturity
and responsibility by satisfying all of the listed
criteria:
-
Having acceptable
grades: Not failing any class in the 4th
quarter.
-
Showing
responsibility in class: Not having a 5 in effort/conduct in any
course for 4th quarter.
-
Being on time to
school and classes: Not exceed 3 illegal tardies to school for
the 4th quarter

-
Being responsible
to pay school financial obligations: No book fines, overdue

Office to resolve financial issues)
**(Cutting a
class in the 4th quarter will result in loss of
privileges for the 1st quarter of next year)**
**(School
Administration reserves the opportunity to review any student
application)**
In June, the high school administration will
assess juniors according to the list of criteria. Eligible
students will receive a letter during the summer inviting them to
apply for parking privileges. Once school
starts, eligible students will be permitted to apply for early
release or late arrival if their schedule permits. Students who
do not meet the criteria may be eligible to apply after the first
quarter interim reports are issued. All students are assessed at
the end of each academic quarter to determine their eligibility
for senior privileges.
The privileges
available to seniors who meet the criteria are:
-
Senior parking
(after completed valid application and available space)
-
Late arrival
(as allowed by student’s schedule)
-
Early release
(as allowed by student’s schedule)
-
Unassigned
periods (as identified on student’s schedule)
