- Late Arrival /Early Release
Late Arrival/Early Release is an earned privilege available to Juniors and Seniors who meet the criteria established by Bridge Creek Public Schools.
Eligibility requirements for Seniors and Juniors are based on Academics, Attendance, and Behavior. Students must also have their own method of transportation to arrive late and leave early. Late Arrival/Early Release is a non-credit course offered during 1st hour or 7th hour only.
Benefits of the Program include:
- Flexibility: Participating students can arrive late to school or leave early, giving them more control over their daily schedule.
- Pursue Opportunities: Students can use the extra time gained to participate in internships, community service projects, job shadowing, or other extracurricular activities.
- Personal Growth: The program encourages students to explore new interests, gain real-world experience, and develop valuable skills outside the traditional classroom setting.
- College and Career Readiness: Engaging in meaningful experiences during high school can enhance college applications and future employment prospects.
We are excited about this program’s possibilities and believe it will empower our junior and senior students to take charge of their educational journey.
