Tuesday Policy Review: Absences and Time out of Class
***
Regular attendance greatly enhances the opportunity for students to profit from educational programs provided by their teachers.
***
The entire process of education requires continuity of instruction, class participation, learning experience, and study.
Parents and Students,
***
Please check your email for important information and the link to the survey we need all of you to fill out. We need your valuable and honest feedback. If you did not receive the email, your contact information is incorrect. Please call the MHS office to update your contact information.
Tuesday Policy Review is: Check Out & Check In policy.
***
All students must officially check out at the office before leaving the school grounds. This applies to students who are 18 years of age as well. Before checking out, the student must have permission from a parent or legal guardian. If students arrive on campus any time after the first tardy bell, they must check in at the office and be issued a tardy slip before attending class.
MHS Program Highlight: Advanced First Aid & EMT
***
Advanced First Aid and EMT students went to the Lava Swiming Pool for water rescue training. Several students and Staff Members were invited to Teach at the Training. They enjoyed learning new skills and teaching others these life-saving techniques.
MHS Highlight: College Algebra
**
On November 12, MHS College Algebra hosted a unique and engaging event for the students. The class welcomed Premier Welding to the classroom to provide a practical, hands-on learning experience. This collaboration allowed students to step into the roles of engineers and apply the mathematical concepts they have been studying by constructing rollercoasters. For more of the story, check out the District Website for the full article.

It's the Tuesday Policy review. Today's Topic is the Tardy Policy:
***
It is the belief of Malad High School that being punctual is a critical skill students need to learn and demonstrate on a daily class-by-class basis. When a student is tardy to a class, it is disrespectful, disruptive to the educational environment, and it limits the tardy student’s participation time in the class. Being tardy is a chosen behavior. Plan ahead.
**
A student arriving late to class will be marked tardy. A student will be marked absent after the first ten minutes of the class period. If a student misses more than fifteen minutes of class (with or without a smart pass) at any time during class, he or she will be marked absent. Students who are tardy will be subject to the school’s discipline policies, beginning with Level 1 consequences.

****
Currently, there is a challenge between classes to see who can reach 95% as a grade 10 times. The Sophomores are crushing it! Way to go! The grade that wins gets a prize. All grades have from now until Thanksgiving Break to hit that mark. The first grade to get there wins!
****
Regular attendance is key to success. It ensures you don't miss out on vital lessons, helps develop discipline, and fosters a sense of community. Every day at MHS counts towards your growth and future achievements!

Policy Review Tuesday! This week it is: Attendance for Athletics or Extra-Curricular Activities:
**
In order to participate, an athlete or extracurricular participant must be in attendance at least 4 periods the day of the event. (event is defined as a practice, game, or performance) (not including release periods) Students that sluff any period of the day will also be declared ineligible for the next scheduled activity they are a part of.
Situations with extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the student and their families, will be evaluated by the administration on a case-by-case basis. Whenever possible the parents should have the absence pre-approved by administration by an email explaining the circumstances of the absence at least 24 hours before the absence. (Illness, working, etc. are not considered as being unavoidable or beyond the control of the student or family.) This attendance rule applies to any group that represents the school. If a student participates in an event when they have not been in attendance for at least 4 periods then they will be declared ineligible for the next scheduled activity you are a part of.
A couple of weeks ago, MHS Students had the fantastic opportunity to participate in Career Workshops and a Career Expo. Students picked four classes to attend and listened to presenters talk about their careers. Please take a minute to swipe through the different careers. We are grateful for good people who take their time away from work to teach our students. Thank you, Kami Willie, for organizing a huge Career Fair and Expo for our MHS Students.
