Early Out Program (EOP)
What is the Early Out Program (EOP)?
The Early Out Program is defined as the opportunity to leave school early. Early dismissal would begin at 2:30 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 2:40 pm on Wednesday. This gives the student the option of not attending their ELT with parental permission. A student is still expected to attend ELT if a teacher has requested you to attend. IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK THEIR POWERSCHOOL PORTAL DAILY TO SEE IF A TEACHER HAS SELECTED YOU FOR ELT.
What is the criteria to meet eligibility for EOP?
Students must qualify MONTHLY to be eligible for EOP.
* Must not be carrying an incomplete or NC in any class
* Must have a current weighted GPA (defined as current grades for current term) of no less than 3.0 (For the beginning of the school year, grades are taken from S2; for February, grades are taken from S1 and current grades)
* Must adhere to attendance and discipline policies
The above must be in place at the designated time of evaluation. Dates will be posted on this webpage, Parent/StudentSquare, PowerSchool Daily Bulletin and Google Classrooms.
Guidelines:
* Students must stop at the front desk and scan their id card before leaving. All EOP Students must exit through the front office only.
* Parents agree to arrange transportation at the above indicated time in a manner similar to regular end-of-day pickup.
* Students without transportation by 2:45 pm (Wednesday 2:55 pm) will be escorted back to a scheduled Enrichment/Support class.
* The parent and student agree that they will be utilizing the EOP pass daily during the 2023-2024 school year.
