What is SUCCESS! period?

There are some common misconceptions about our SUCCESS! period.  Let us clarify the purpose of SUCCESS! and some of the policies that govern the use of this important academic period in our day:

• SUCCESS! is an academic period during the day, and it is a required class that all student at MHHS are required to attend.  
• Students can be required by teachers to attend their session by scheduling them in FlexTime manager, and will be marked absent if they do not attend.
• If a student is not required to attend a session, students may sign up for intervention or learning extension sessions during SUCCESS!  Students can login and search for these sessions in FlexTime manager.  Once they sign up, students must attend that session to be marked present.
• Students with good grades and positive attendance may be able to sign up for Extended Lunch during SUCCESS! period.
• Juniors and Seniors who have positive attendance, good grades, and are not required by their teachers to come to a session may have the opportunity for off-campus lunch privileges with parental permission.  
• Students are responsible for checking FlexTime manager DAILY to ensure they are signed up for either an intervention or extension session OR Extended Lunch.  Students who fail to sign up for an activity will be marked ABSENT with an unexcused absence.
• SUCCESS! period is NOT a part of the high school lunch period.
• Parents who wish to sign students out during the SUCCESS! period are signing them out during a regularly scheduled class period.  As such, students signed out must have an excusable reason to be excused from this period or they will be marked UNEXCUSED which can and will result in disciplinary consequences including after school reflection room, and could include Saturday school once unexcused absences reach 6 or more.

Our hope is to communicate the purpose of SUCCESS! more clearly so parents and students understand the purpose for this academic period during our day.  Our teachers work hard to provide both intervention and extension opportunities for our students that are embedded into the school day.  We encourage parents to ask students to login to their FlexTime manager and discover what they are regularly signing up for.  Having a conversation with your student about their academic progress, their grades, and their appropriate use of SUCCESS! period can help both students and parents be on the same page about their ongoing academic progress.
