Early Release / Late Arrival
With the realization that many seniors will graduate with numerous credits exceeding the state and the local district’s required number, an early release / late arrival program is in place for seniors. Parental consent is required and the obligation rests with the student to complete the entire process before the student will be considered for this privilege. Final approval will be determined by the principal. Every senior must be enrolled in a minimum of 2 consecutive classes per term while at OSHS. Additional requirements above the 24 Carnegie units and the assessment requirements include: For early release / late arrival, students must meet one of the following two options:
Option 1
