Starting on Tuesday, September 15th, we will begin holding Freshman Fire Hour. Fire Hour class has been developed to assist freshman students who are not successfully passing one or more of their classes. Students who are enrolled in Fire Hour will benefit from this class by:
-receiving remediation and tutoring in the specific areas, necessary for the student to be successful.
-having the opportunity to complete current assignments and specific missing assignments that may have been identified by their teacher.
-developing stronger organizational and study skills.
Freshman Fire Hour begins promptly at 2:45 PM, in the Auditorium and ends at 3:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. Fire Hour class is held during the last hour of the official school day, as identified on page 17 of the Student Handbook. A school bus is provided for a 3:45 PM bus run for all students who qualify to ride the school bus. FIRE Hour students involved in afterschool athletics or activities are expected to attend in the Multi-Purpose room from 7:10 until 7:55 AM, Monday through Thursday. Failure to attend in the morning means that attendance in the afternoon is mandatory. Students will exit the FIRE Hour by demonstrating that they are successfully completing all academic classes in which they are enrolled. Freshmen must bring their grade up to a 70% or better in each failing class, in order to exit from the Freshmen FIRE Hour program. It is our goal for all freshmen to experience the thrill of successful achievement while they are students at Greenway and throughout their futures. If you have any questions or concerns, please call Brenda Baker at 623-915-8514.
