Junior and Senior Release - It has come to the attention of administration that some students who owe make-up work due to absences are not staying for tutorial to get caught up. All students in this program must be aware that failure to stay during tutorial to make up assignments, tests, and other academic requirements will cause their Jr./Sr. release privileges to be revoked. If a student is absent, they must be caught up with all classes before Jr./Sr. release can be utilized. See Mr. Wilson with any questions.
