Welcome to Calico High School !
The 2013-2014 school year is almost over!
Calico High School provides an alternative to traditional high school for students that need a little more flexibility. They have the opportunity to work at their own pace in the courses they need in order to graduate. The only 'conditions' are finishing their class within 6 weeks and maintaining at least a 70%. Of course, some of the kids need a little more time, some can finish more than 1 class in 6 weeks.
Our seniors will be taking the CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam) again on May 13 and 14. Students have to pass both sections of the test in order to receive their high school diploma. I will be having review and reinforcement groups all next week to help the kids so please encourage them to come.
By now, you are aware that our school hours have changed. Calico students now attend school from 7:30 a.m. until 11:15 a.m. It's very important to encourage your child to do as much work as possible in that 3 hours that they are here. If there is internet access at home, they can also work at home. As a matter of fact, they can work anywhere there is internet service , 24 hours a day!
Please feel free to drop by at any time- we always welcome the chance to meet parents and show them what their students are working on!
