Parents/Guardians of eligible students may complete this form to release their child from assigned study halls. Students will be released from currently assigned study halls upon completion of this form. Students must continue to attend study halls until their schedule is updated. Students who are released from study halls are not allowed to stay in the building unless they have received specific permission from a counselor or administrator.
The following are conditions which must be met by students to be eligible for study hall release:
- Sophomores may be released from beginning of the day study hall periods (if they are not required to attend MTSS) and from end of the day study hall periods.
- Juniors/Seniors may be released from beginning of the day study hall periods (if they are not required to attend MTSS), and from all other study hall periods
** Students may only be released from a full-block study hall or from a black/gold study hall connected to their lunch period. A minimum of 60 minutes of time must be available within a student's schedule to qualify for a study hall release. **
** Students will not be released from middle-of-the-day study halls whenever we have a scheduled 8-period day. This is due to the shorter class periods (especially on our late-start Wednesdays). We have created a course, WEDNESDAY Study Hall, and will require students to report to the Multipurpose Room during their middle-of-the-day release time on 8-period days. Attendance will be expected and taken.**
Students may lose their study hall release privilege and be placed back into study hall due to failing classes, as a consequence for poor attendance, for routinely not leaving the building during release time on block days, or for not reporting to the Multipurpose Room during middle-of-the-day release time on 8-period days. If this were to occur, reissuance of a study hall release is not guaranteed and will be the joint decision of the parent/guardian, counselor, and administrator.
