Dear Parent/Guardian of MissionBayHigh School
Seniors:
As a parent of a prospective
graduate of the Mission Bay High School Class of 2011, you are undoubtedly
looking forward to having your child enjoy all of the wonderful senior
activities that are planned for the rest of year, culminating with the
commencement ceremony.In a letter dated
November 30, 2009, I addressed the eligibility issues for participation in
senior activities at MissionBayHigh
School.I
want to review these so that students and parents understand the eligibility
requirements for Senior Activities and participation in commencement.
Only students who meet the graduation
requirements for the district (2.0 or higher GPA, earned 44 credits in
grades nine through twelve, satisfactorily passed the Senior
exhibition/portfolio),and passed the English language arts and mathematics
portion of the CAHSEE may earn a High School Diploma.
Only students who have met the graduation
requirement above, have a cumulative GPA in citizenship of 2.0 or higher
(during their senior year), have no more than 3 unexcused class periods,
have turned in their portfolios on time (and passed the exhibition), and
have been cleared by senior review, may participate in the commencement
ceremony.
Senior Brunch and attending the Senior Prom have
the same requirements listed above.
If seniors choose to violate
behavior guidelines, such as senior pranks, inappropriate behavior at school
sponsored events, or other suspendable offenses they will be prohibited from
participating in all remaining senior activities including commencement.Please take the time to discuss the contents
of this letter with your child so that they are aware of these expectations.
If you have questions
regarding this policy please call either James Michaelian (ext. 101) or
Gretchen Rhoads (ext. 109).Thank you
for your support.
