SENIOR OPTION POLICY
Senior Option is a privilege offered to students who hold senior standing. Students who meet the
specified criteria may choose to be dismissed seventh period instead of staying for their seventh period
study hall. As with any privilege, this option may be revoked at any time.
In order to be eligible for Senior Option, all of the following criteria must be met:
1. Student must be a fourth year student with at least 16 credits and on track to graduate at the end
of their eighth semester.
2. The student must be passing all classes. Initial eligibility will be based upon the fourth quarter
grades in the junior year.
3. Eligibility will be reviewed and determined at each grading period ( interim, and quarter).
4. A student who is ineligible may obtain eligibility at the next evaluating period( interim or quarter)
whichever comes first.
5. The student must have passed all parts of the Ohio Graduation Test( OGT). Remediation classes
may be offered during seventh period for students who need to pass parts of the OGT. A student
may earn eligibility upon successful passing of the OGT provided all other criteria have been
met.
6. All fees must be paid in full to be eligible for senior option.
Important considerations:
In certain situations, students will not be able to use their Senior Option due to a scheduling conflict
with a needed course available only in the seventh period.
Senior Option will be affected at times due to adjusted schedules at the direction of the school principal
(i.e. weather delays, school assemblies, Wellness Week, etc.). Every effort will be made to provide
advance notice of these situations so that students may adjust their plans accordingly.
Students must request Senior Options with their other course requests at the time of scheduling in
the spring and no later than the schedule change deadline .
