This request must be made prior to the beginning of the junior year. The school staff is aware of the importance of work for some students. Students and parents are asked to limit to ten hours a work commitment which falls Sunday evening through Thursday evening when school is in session. So that seniors, their families, and friends can take pride in the celebration of commencement, mandatory rehearsals are held in the week preceding graduation. Missing any of these important practices jeopardizes participation in the ceremony.
Graduation is an academic celebration.
Students will conduct themselves in dress, word, and action as members of the class. Faculty advisors and class officers, with the assistance of building administrators, shall oversee appropriateness of students' dress and behavior before, during, and following graduation. Homework Homework is an essential part of the academic program at ConVal. Homework supplements classroom instruction by reinforcing skills, developing study habits, promoting individual responsibility and motivation, and teaching students to recognize and establish requirements needed to prepare for quizzes, exams, and class participation. Most important is that students' intellectual activities be supported and structured at home.
