51. What are Power Hours
Once a month, the whole class will get together for a “Power Hour”. We have team building activities, special presentations, anti-bullying programming, positive choice training, and class spirit themed fun.

Yes. It is the front of the student issued agendas. Dress code, attendance and behavioral expectations/consequences are described there. Students and parents are expected to be familiar with our expectations.
