Put the Fun Aside!
by:Austin Lopez
Hey guys, do you need extra credits? Did you fail classes in the past? Well then, what you need is Adult School. This is especially true for Seniors that are missing credit requirements for graduating. If you're cool with staying after school for most of the week, then it’s perfect. You're probably wondering what the details are.
Adult School is available until the end of the school year. It is from Monday through Thursday, and yes the program is even open on minimum days. Regular days are from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm, and minimum day schedule is from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. You have to serve a required 60 hours minimum to complete the course, and you need to complete the bookwork and test. If you don’t finish all of the work within the 60 hours, extra time is given until you complete the assignments. If you need to take another credit course, then you may choose to complete it in the same or the next semester.
Now that you know the details about the Adult School program, you're probably thinking, “ How can I get into Adult School, and why didn’t I find out sooner?”
Well, if you're interested, what you need to do is go see your counselor. Once you're there, ask her what classes you're able to make-up. Then after you know what classes you can make up, ask for the application forms for Adult School. If you are under the age of 18 then you and your parents will need to sign the forms. Turn them into your counselor, and from there you're ready to go.
Remember Raiders, it's important to finish before the last minute, so put the fun stuff aside for a little bit and get your work done!
