STUDENT MENTORSHIP CLASS Career technical mentorship is a class offered for juniors and seniors on track for graduation. Students must have a 3.0 minimum GPA and good attendance. Students must also have a good discipline record. Students may only mentor twice in their high school career, and the credits do not count for the technical diploma. Mentoring is a privilege. Those students who take this class should be dedicated to the office in which they serve and represent Wheeler well.
Students classified as seniors and carrying sufficient credits to provide for one unit above the total needed for high school graduation may schedule a minimum of three blocks( in consecutive order). Students participating in the mentoring program may not take minimum day. These seniors must have passed or be enrolled in all specified courses for graduation except for courses limited to seniors. Seniors who choose minimum day must be off campus no later than five minutes after their last class or be under the direct supervision of a faculty member.
Failure to comply will result in administrative action or enrollment in a class during their“ off” period.
TEXTBOOKS Students are responsible for returning textbooks in the same condition as they are issued. If a book is not returned or is damaged, the student will be charged the cost of the book. No books will be issued until the fine( s) is paid. It is the student’ s responsibility to clear all fines. Textbooks should not be left in classrooms or given to other students to use / borrow.
Many textbooks are now available online. Digital textbooks are available during the first week of school. Online high school textbooks are accessed through Clever. Codes to access the available textbooks will be given to students from their classroom teachers.
