The school year is divided into ten, eighteen-day grading units called sessions. At the beginning of each session, students are given performance agreement contracts with the academic requirements they are to complete within that session. When the session is over, credit is granted for the completion of the work and meeting the on-task time requirements. Progress is reviewed through individualized student conferences with reports being sent to the parents. E.O.C students are enrolled in five academic classes in addition to participating in work experience or community volunteering.
Attendance is managed through the use of time cards.
This policy teaches time management skills, personal responsibility and self-discipline. The EOC is an extension of the Atlantic High School. Students are required to meet the same graduation standards as those attending the traditional high school.
