Students who earned Attendance Incentive(s) can replace their semester exam grade with the average of their 9 weeks' grades in 1-2 of their classes.

The Attendance Incentive program was designed to increase student achievement by maximizing the amount of time students spend in instruction. The hope is to minimize avoidable absences.

Students who have 8 or fewer class period absences and no more than 2 absences in a single class period will earn an incentive for two courses. Students who have 12 or fewer class period absences and no more than 3 absences in a single class will earn an incentive for one course. Absences that count for the purpose of Attendance Incentives are coded as UNX, ILP, ILH, and OTH. Essentially, any full-day absence that is not school related is included in the absence total when determining who earns incentives.

FIT stands for Flexible Instructional Time, and it is a 26 minute period that occurs every day after 1st or 5th period. FIT is designed to make sure that you have the additional time and support carved out during the school day to master essential skills and learn at high levels. During FIT, there are sessions designed for tutoring, make-up work, review sessions, and more! FIT attendance is mandatory.

You will either be assigned by a teacher or sign up for sessions of your choice using your Enriching Students account. For directions regarding FIT and Enriching Students, watch this Enriching Students training video.
