   FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

Dear DHS Family,

               Despite the challenges we have faced with the start of another school year, we are well on our way to completing our first semester. Our 45th day of school was October 18th, so time is moving quickly. We are excited about the great things happening at Dillon High School. Everyone is working hard to help our students stay focused and on track to successfully completing another school year.

                  Parents, report cards were sent home with students on last Tuesday. Please make sure that you have seen your child’s grades for the first quarter. If you noticed any course failures, please call the school to set up a conference while it is still early enough to resolve the problem. Now is a perfect time to meet with the teachers to develop a plan for ensuring that your scholar makes adequate progress by the end of the semester.

Remember, there is no reason for any student at Dillon High School to fail; we have several academic interventions in place.  Please encourage your children to attend after school tutoring with their content area teachers. We also have credit recovery opportunities available for students if they meet the requirements to recover a course.

The administration and staff at Dillon High School are working hard to provide our students with every opportunity to succeed.  As the second nine weeks gets underway,  please help us to help your students in every aspect possible. We have staff members that can meet their needs in a number of different areas. We are working hard every day to build a culture where students transfer our school’s motto of excellence into their daily lives.

         

          Sincerely,

            Timothy P. Gibbs

STUDENT HANDBOOK

Retake Policy

There is no reason for any student at Dillon High School to fail. Every student has the opportunity to retake  any test, assignment, project or quiz which resulted in a failing grade or for grade improvement. Students are allowed a total of 5 retakes each nine weeks. Students and    teachers are responsible for arranging    suitable times for retakes.
Parent Resource Center

DHS now has a resource center available to all parents. Please call Ms. Cynthia Williams at 774-1230 ext. 226 for more  information

 

VERY IMPORTANT...PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGES!!!

ATTENDANCE INFORMATION

District policy is as follows:

The school year consists of 180 school days.  Attendance is the presence of a student on days when school is in session.  Students may be counted present only when they are actually at school, on homebound instruction, or are present at a school activity which is authorized by the school.  This may include field trips, athletic contests, academic contests, music festivals, student conventions and similar activities.

Students must have 120 hours of seat time to earn a Carnegie unit (60 hours for a ½ unit).

This limits all absences to 10 days (5 days for a ½ unit). This includes all days missed – excused, unexcused, bereavement, medical, etc.

When students have three (3) consecutive or five (5) total unexcused or unverified absences (by class and/or school day) the school will contact parents and develop a truancy intervention plan (TIP) for improved attendance.  Students under 17 years of age who violate a TIP will be referred to a higher authority for truancy.  Parents will be required to meet with administration to develop plan.

If you are not in class, you are marked absent!

*Only five (5) days can be made up to count toward ATTENDANCE RECOVERY.

 

ATEC STUDENTS
ALL students
will ride the bus to and from ATEC every day. If you are late and miss the bus to ATEC, your parent must sign you in at ATEC. Students of parents choosing not to take them to ATEC due to late arrival will remain in ISS until 3rd block or until students return from ATEC. Driving privileges for students going to ATEC will be at the principal’s discretion.
