ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
GHS will be offering Extended School Day during Quarter 3. Your student has been identified by their grade-level team as being able to benefit significantly from this program in order to get themselves on-track for graduation. TO SIGN UP students just need to show up to the correct grade-level room after school for ESD and the teacher in that room will get them enrolled. They can begin attending as soon as tomorrow, January 13th.
There is no transportation for ESD. Students must secure their own ride home. Snack will be provided at no cost each day for students in attendance.
ESD will run Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 2:35pm – 4:35pm (EXCEPT for Early Release days)
**students who are also enrolled in co-enrolled should attend co-enrolled on T/TH and ESD on W until they have satisfied their requirements for co-enrolled. Co-enrolled begins in February.
Start date: Tuesday, January 11th
End date: Thursday, March 10th
Locations:
11th & 12th Grade: Room 242
10th Grade: Room 225
9th Grade: Room 228
What can students work on at ESD?
There are many different options for students who are attending ESD. Many will use the time to work on APEX, eSchool, and FLVS courses that they are enrolled in. However, this is not the only use of this time.
- APEX, eSchool, FLVS courses
- Work on current work from classes to stay caught up
- Work on missing work from classes that may still be turned in per the teacher’s syllabus/policy
- Work on missing work from classes after multiple absences (especially helpful with kids who end up on QI to get them caught up)
- Complete real-time recovery assigned by the teacher
- Complete alternative assignments assigned by teachers to recover standards and grades
- Study hall time to complete work or use computers/wifi for assignments
Please note that all missing work and alternative assignments/real-time recovery are assigned by the classroom teacher for that course. ESD is a place where students may work on these assignments, but students should be communicating with their teacher(s) to ensure the work they are doing will be counted for credit.
If you have additional questions, please reach out to one of the ESD team members.
