Culminating Task Days:
• There will be 4 Culminating Task Days. (June 16 - June 19)
• Please do not schedule any vacations or appointments (medical, dental etc) during this time
• Each day will begin with a 120-minute period dedicated to students completing their culminating task.
• Culminating tasks may include a variety of forms such as assignments, presentations, conferences, interviews, and exams.
• Teachers will determine the method that best meets the requirements of the course and the needs of the students.
• The school day will be structured into 3 blocks of time. One 120-minute period dedicated to the culminating task followed by 2-75-minute blocks in the afternoon dedicated to the following day's culminating task preparation.
• There will be no new learning or assessment and evaluation (other than the culminating task) during these days.
• Students must remain in their classroom for the duration of the culminating task period. They are not permitted to walk around the halls.

Study Period (75 mins)
During culminating task days, the final period of the day (1:15 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.) will be designated as a study period for students. This time is intended for students to prepare for upcoming culminating tasks or to complete outstanding assignments.
Students who remain in the building during this time are expected to be in an approved study location such as a classroom, the cafeteria, or library for the purpose of independent or small group study. This is a quiet, focused time to support academic success. Students will not be permitted to walk around the halls. They must remain in one of the three designated study locations.
Feedback, Recovery, and Improvement Days:
• These will occur in the remaining 3 days of the semester. (June 22 - June 24)
• Students can attend to receive feedback, complete assignment(s), or improve an area(s) of missed expectation.
• Students will be provided with a reflection form that must be completed to attend these days. They will be asked to reflect on their learning and develop a plan to improve their learning, if they choose, based on specific areas of the course expectations.
• Teachers will be available to assist students in completing the form, if necessary.
• All students have the option to attend the feedback, recovery, and improvement days.
