Class Dues Statement

In the past, community members and parents were inundated by fundraising efforts. In an effort to eliminate the majority of fundraisers, class dues were established to help pay for Homecoming supplies, Snowgoing supplies, Prom supplies, school gift, class shirts and the full-color senior section of the yearbook.

Dues are $40. Students who cannot pay the full amount are encouraged to follow this schedule:
$15 - freshman year, $15 - sophomore year, $10 - junior year, $0 - senior year

Please make dues payable to "GHS Class of _____" and enter the student's graduation year. Dues are collected by the class advisers. They may be mailed to the advisers at GHS, or students can hand deliver them. Cash is accepted.

If dues are not paid by January 31 of the senior year, students may be in jeopardy of not graduating until they are paid.

The following information is from the GHS student handbook.

SENIORS AND PARENTS OF SENIORS

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that seniors are taking full advantage of their
senior year. Often times excessive absences lead to the student earning NC (No credit),
and missing valuable classroom instruction.

SENIOR ABSENCE POLICY

1) Students with more than two No Credits (NC) at the end of the second and third trimester combined and thereafter due to attendance, will not participate in commencement exercises.

2) Beginning after the second official count day of the school year, students that excuse themselves, have unexcused absences, or that the parent excuses the student excessively for one or more classes for reasons not covered in the attendance policy (usually, because the student does not need that class to graduate) will face the following:

A. The student will meet with parents and administration, and the student may be removed from the classroom and
given a No Credit (NC) at the end of the trimester. An NC is figured into the student’s GPA as an E.

B. Once this happens for more than two course subjects/classes, the student will NOT participate in commencement
exercises.

C. Dropping a CTE class at Kirtland equals three No Credits (NC).

Special Note: An excused absence is when the student signs out in the office and leaves with parental permission or as according to the 18 year old sign out policy.

“Skipping” is an unexcused absence. It occurs when students are out of any class or lunch period and are not excused. The consequences for skipping will be in addition to the senior absence policy and are listed in the hand book.

18 YEAR OLD SIGN OUT POLICY

• All students must meet with administration to learn the rights associated with signing himself or herself out of school.

• Students that are 18 must follow the same guidelines as a parent when it comes to providing doctor slips, etc.

• Students are NOT allowed to sign out for lunch. Administrative permission is required.
