We are pleased to announce that Colton Joint Unified School District has a new recognition program, “Tomorrow’s Leaders”, for high school students who are enrolled in any of our high schools in grades 9–12, excluding independent study students. The program is designed to promote attendance, positive behavior, and overall GPA. The goal is to improve student performance, reinforce appropriate behaviors, and prepare our students to be responsible members of the future work force. At the end of the school year, all eligible students will be entered into a drawing for various items/awards. The Grand Prize is a 2016 Chevrolet Spark donated by Rotolo Chevrolet! Students must meet the following eligibility requirements in order to participate in the Recognition Program: • Attendance Requirement: effective 10/20/2015, -97% attendance for the remainder of the school year. Example: if a student is scheduled for 6 periods per day. At 100 days of school, the student would need to have: • No more than 3 days of absences • No More than 10 tardies (of any type) (Keep in mind, 1 Truant = 1 period absence). Additionally Saturday School make-ups can be used towards your attendance rate • Behavior Requirement: No outside suspensions for the remainder of the school year • GPA Minimum Requirement: 2.8 cumulative weighted GPA • Enrollment Requirement: Student must be continuously enrolled in a district school during the entire contest period and at the time of drawing • Only 11th and 12th graders are eligible for the grand prize
