in January. There are

many other activities that

are taking place such as

band, theater, vocal music

and debate. I want to en-

courage you to come out

and support our sports

and activities programs.

Our students need to

know that the community

supports them in all their

endeavors.

When inclement weather

causes the schools to

close in our district, there

will be an announcement

made between 6:00 and

8:00 am. on local radio

and television stations.

Thank you for your sup-

port this semester. We

look forward to working

with you during the spring

semester.

Merry Christmas and

Happy New Year from all

of us at Campus!

Myron Regier

Principal

Season’s Greetings from

the staff and administra-

tion at Campus High

School!

As the holiday season ap-

proaches there are several

important things that stu-

dents need to remember.

The fall semester will end

on Thursday, Dec. 17 at

3:05 pm. This means that

students need to focus on

the last few days of class.

Assignments need to be

turned in on time and

preparation should be

made for final exams. The

semester grade is the

grade that will be placed

on the student’s transcript

so this is a very important

time in our academic year.

First semester grades will

be given to students on

Thursday, Jan. 7 in semi-

nar classes. If you have

not received this report,

please call the high school.

You will also be able to

look up your student’s

grades on Power School.

This is an important re-

port card because this is

the grade that will be en-

tered on your student’s

transcript. Grades at

Campus are cumulative

and reflect the entire se-

mester’s performance in a

particular subject. These

final grades translate into

credits, which are re-

quired in order to gradu-

ate. In one semester, a

student can earn 4.25

credits, i.e. .5 for each

subject and .25 for semi-

nar. Passing classes is very

important since gradua-

tion for 11th-12th graders

is based on students ac-

quiring 25 credits plus .25

credit per semester for

seminar. This year’s fresh-

men and sophomores

come in under the new

graduation requirements

of 27 credits plus .25 per

seminar.

The winter sports season

is now in full swing with

boys and girls basketball,

wrestling and boys swim-

ming. Bowling will begin

Final exams are scheduled

for Dec. 14 (W2), 15 (B2),

16 (W1/3/4), & 17 (B1/3/4).

On Dec. 16 & 17, the 2nd

block class will be a study

hall. Students will be re-

quired to be in all other

classes Dec. 14 and Dec.15

even if they are exempt

from 2nd block finals.

All students must take

final exams unless granted

an exemption by their

teacher. Exemptions are

allowed only when a student

has an average of at least

93%, four or fewer absences

and teacher permission is

granted. Each student re-

ceived an exemption form

and they are responsible for

taking that form to each of

the classes they will be ex-

empt from to be signed by

the teacher. The form then

must be signed by a parent

or guardian prior to the

absence being approved by

Mr. Regier. Students are still

required to attend the class

during the final exam unless

this form is properly filled

out.

Students leaving school

without this paperwork

complete will be considered

truant. Students who are

exempt are not to be on

school grounds during any

part of the exempted class.

Students are required to

sign out at the beginning of

an exempted class and also

to sign in when returning to

school.

If your student is exempt

from 1W and/or 3W on

Dec. 16, they can be ex-

empt from 2W (study hall)

also. If your student is ex-

empt from 1B and/or 3B on

Dec. 17 they can be exempt

from 2W (study hall) also.

All forms are due by 3:30

on Friday, December 11 and

will not be accepted after

the deadline.
