It is required that students attend at least 75% of all scheduled classes. If a student is unable to attend for one day… supplemental activities will be required for that student to complete, in order to continue their participation in the program.
Credit Retrieval May Be Available!
(Potential for credit retrieval with other school districts still pending.)
Credit Retrieval for MLSD: MLSD will allow 0.5 elective credit for any student willing to meet a few additional stipulations.
As high school credits are at least loosely tied to a quantity of time, 90 hours per half credit, we would ask that the students interested declare their desire for the credit by the end of their first day by emailing Mark Harris, Moses Lake High School Principal specifically.
Their additional task will be simple, they will be asked to send a daily email throughout the 3-week course.The first would be a declaration of seeking the credit. After that, a format and additional prompts will be givento respond to.
In a general sense, there will be daily reflectionsgiving feedback on each day's experiences. Each day it will be requiredthat the email is timestamped the day of each class, except Thursdays. Thursday’s email will be a week summary and day reflection. As it is longer and weekend connected, it can be time stamped Thursday-Sunday.
