graduation for this achievement
Flexible schedule
Lots of course choices and schedule times
College tuition is paid by the State Fall, winter, and spring terms only – not summer
KEEP IN MIND You are responsible for your own transportation
You are responsible for book, lab fees, and course fees
Communication and connection to RHS requires more effort
You are responsible for working on homework on your own and without teacher’s assistance
You are responsible for making up absences and class assignments at Clark
Probation and suspension policy – every point counts & GPA may be affected
Different atmosphere– give your self time to adjust (environment, system, grading, teachers)
All graduation requirements must be completed by Winter quarter of your Senior year
PARENTS SHOULD KNOW
College has open door policy – anyone and everyone may attend Clark
It is college and is an adult environment
There is no censorship in the classroom
No special allowances are made because of the student’s age
Parents do not have access to student records
Instructors aren’t required to monitor attendance
Clarks suggests that parents should NOT contact faculty
Your student may miss out on opportunities here at RHS
