                   School Colors

School Colors will start at the beginning of the second quarter and need to be completed by the end of April! They will begin earning credit points towards their school colors. Below is a list of guidelines and an outline that can be followed during this process.

1. Each of the service and home hours must be documented in the student service journal, and all must be verified by signature from parents, guardian, teacher, or community member involved. Please document the time it took to complete each project on the journal reflection page.

2. A minimum of twenty hours is needed to earn the service portion of class colors. Each hour completed equals 1 point.

3. Points may also be deducted for behavior problems resulting in poor conduct or repeat failure to turn in assignments. A note will go home if this should happen.

4. There are three service categories in which hours must be earned:
