4 “A”s
– Once again, Poway High has made
the 4 “A”s the focus for this school year. These are: Academics, Attendance, Appearance,
and Attitude. We wholeheartedly believe
by staying committed to these values, students will be successful in high
school and the world beyond.
TUTORIAL - Students
who are struggling or just need a little extra help can attend tutorial on
Wednesday and Thursday from 2:10 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. Because early success in high school is a
priority, tutorial is mandatory for all freshmen for the first three weeks of
school. Freshmen and sophomores with a
grade of C- or below must attend weekly tutorial; students are released from
this obligation when they bring up their grade to above a 73%. Tutorial is open to juniors and seniors as
well. Additionally, many teachers are
available at other times (such as before school, lunch, or after school on
other days) – students should check with their individual teachers.
DRESS CODE
- Please be sure your student
dresses appropriately for school activities and maintains a standard of common
decency for an academic environment.
Specific guidelines for student dress are outlined in the student
planner.
LATE START MONDAYS - Administrative offices do not open until 8:45 a.m. on
Mondays due to Professional Growth activities occurring on campus.
LEARNING POINT - This on-line tool enables
parents to monitor student progress in each of their student’s classes. Grades are generally updated every two
weeks. Log on at www.LearningPoint.org to receive
instructions on accessing your student’s account. To gain access to their grades, you will need
their ID number and their GRID number (a number that was mailed home with
standardized test scores).
ATTENDANCE
- Please call the 24-hour Attendance
Hotline at 858-748-7016 by 11 a.m., each day your student is absent. Students arriving less than 30 minutes late
should report directly to class, while those more than 30 minutes tardy should
report to the Attendance Office.
Students arriving late between classes, during break, or lunch must
check in with the Attendance Office before going to the next class.
E-UPDATE - The
weekly E-Update is a quick and easy way to stay up-to-date on all the
activities occurring on campus. To receive this valuable link between school
and home, please provide your e-mail address to the Attendance Office and/or
contact Linda Severino at lseverino@powayusd.com.
