Question 1. What is the 85% Rule for Student Attendance?
Answer: Per Page 47 of the student handbook, students must be in class 85% of the time in order to earn a passing report card grade for the semester they are enrolled in. Check with your teachers to be sure you do not have too many absences!
Question 2. How much homework should I expect in high school?
Answer: The amount varies, depending on what the class content is. As a general rule, you should plan on at least 2 hours of study time each night. I used to study for an hour after school before dinner, then I spent any extra time needed after dinner.
Question 3. Do you have any favorite TV shows or do you watch sports?
Answer: Yes. I have several. I like to watch "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune" on ABC, 60 minutes on CBS, the Lakers, Dodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and anyone else playing against the Oakland Raiders!
