Special Funding- How can you help?

Office Depot will give 5% of every purchase to your school. This money can be used for any needed classroom supplies. For more information go to www.officedepot.com
 
Target customers will also be able to contribute to the school. When you use the new Target Visa (if the purchase is at a Target store), Target will donate 1% of the purchase to the school of your choice. If you make a purchase at anywhere else Target will donate 1/2% of your purchase to a school of your choice. Target is also giving $5000 to 100 schools who have had the most donations from target per student. For more information log on to www.target.com.
 
Box Tops for Education has earned more than $100 million since 1996. You can continue to help the school by giving your box tops to your teacher (or your child's teacher if your are a parent) or by simply dropping them off at the office at the front of the school. The class who collects the most box tops will receive a party sponsored by DCT.  The Altha PTO is sponsoring this project. For more information you can contact Ms. Batson at school at 763- 3121.

Classroom Procedures
You are expected to be prompt to class.  Excessive tardies to class will result in an office referral.  Those students who are tardy to school more than 4 times during the 9-week grading period will receive detention for every tardy thereafter.  The teacher, NOT the bell, dismisses class.  Students in the halls during class time must have a pass.  Students can expect to be asked for passes.  Misuse of a pass will result in the loss of the pass privilege and possible detention.

Attendance Policy
Grades 6-12

To receive a passing grade (60 or higher) a student must be in attendance for a minimum of 40 days  in a nine week grading period unless excused by a doctor.  Cases involving extenuating circumstances may be appealed within five school days to the principal.

Such extenuating circumstances may include:
-Death in the immediate family
-Religious holiday or instruction
-Prior approval by the Principal
-Any other insurmountable condition as a determined by the Principal
