Senior Privilege- NEW



Dear Parents & Guardians:

Medway High School has designed a Senior Privilege Procedure which will allow seniors who have a study hall scheduled first or last period to arrive to school late, at approximately 9:00 a.m., or leave early, at approximately 1:40 p.m. The purpose of this privilege is to permit seniors to practice the core value of responsibility.

Guidelines for the Senior Privilege Program:

  1. Seniors must be passing all subjects at the end of each quarter. Grades are reviewed and privileges suspended or restored on the Monday following the date of report cards being issued.
  2. This procedure is a privilege; it can be revoked by administration or parent at any time.
  3. Those students arriving late to school in the morning must sign-in at a designated area outside the main office, and will report directly to the cafeteria. Students must be on time for the second period of the day.
  4. Students must leave the school grounds immediately after signing out and not loiter on school grounds if leaving early.
  5. Parents or guardians must sign a release form that releases the school of the responsibility of the student upon the student’s dismissal to school, or prior to the student’s arrival.
  6. In the event that a student’s privilege has been revoked, student or parent-requested dismissals that include the designated privilege period will not be granted, unless a dismissal is administratively approved. If it is determined that a student is circumventing a privilege that has been revoked by being dismissed during what would have been a privilege period, the student will face school consequences.
This policy is set to begin the week of February 4, 2013, and will be reviewed at the end of each grading period.

  1. Yeah...if only I had a senior, I could have taken advantage of your offer! Oh well. Maybe next year.

  2. I do have a completely separate question from the above...when emails are sent out via Blackboard Connect, how do you change your email address? I have gone through the process on the school web page, and I'm pretty sure some of the emails are getting through to our new address, but then your email this morning came through to our old email address again. That email will soon be discontinued, so I am trying to make every effort to make sure things are switched over. The emails themselves do not contain any method for updating (aside from calling the school to cancel, and the person I talked to said I just needed to update via the school website), which seems like it may work for some emails, but not those sent through Blackboard Connect.
