Panther Time

Parents might be wondering what is "Panther Time" and how is this time beneficial.  I have included some information from the student handbook as well as my personal perspective on this time.  

All students are assigned to a classroom and teacher during Panther Time.  Panther Time is dedicated time for students to complete schoolwork and receive additional support from teachers.  All students must report to their Panther Time classroom for the first 5 minutes each day.  Students with C’s or better in all classes will have an extra 25 minutes after 3^rd period for meeting time, personal study time, enrichment time or lunch.  Students who are not earning C’s or better in all classes will utilize this time for completing assignments, taking tests/quizzes and receiving additional support from teachers.

There are designated days where all students or grade levels will remain with their Panther Time teachers to complete graduation requirements, which includes the development and completion of the state required High School and Beyond Plan and preparation for Student-led Conferences. Also, during this time we will have opportunities to have class and club meetings and assemblies.

So far this year we have had two All-School assemblies and individual grade level assemblies during Panther Time.  The first All-School assembly was to welcome the students and the second assembly was honoring the 10th anniversary of 9/11.  The individual grade level assemblies involved a presentation by the grade level counselors and the principal.  We provided information about our expectations, graduation requirements and upcoming events for each grade level.
