Senior Release
Senior Release (SR100)
No Credit, Grade 12
The privilege of early release is extended to seniors who meet and maintain eligibility requirements and receive parent/guardian permission. Senior Release permits seniors to leave the campus early if they have been scheduled for all their required courses for graduation. Guidelines for this program:
Student must be a senior.
Student must provide copy of valid driver’s license and/or TECH parking permit (available for purchase online by parent/guardian using the Skyward Portal) or a bus pass/ticket.
Student must have scheduled all courses required for graduation, including their technical program when appropriate.
Student will have no more than two blocks of senior release time per semester.
Students will not be permitted to drop required core courses in order to participate in senior release. Only elective courses not needed for graduation will be dropped.
Removed elective courses may not be between two required blocks.
Student must be passing all subjects required for graduation.
Student/parent/guardian must complete a liability release form.
Changes will be made at the start of school or at the semester break.
Students turning in documentation after the first two weeks of a semester will be considered on a case-by-case basis according to their passing grades and unexcused absences.
Students must sign in/out in the Attendance Office. Students must enter and exit by that door.
Senior release is not a study hall.
Students may not be on school property during senior release blocks.
Any student who is identified on campus when scheduled for senior release three or more times will then be scheduled into a current elective course available at that time or with the least amount of interference to their current schedule.
Any student who fails, or is failing a course needed for graduation, will be removed from senior release and placed in a course for the second semester.
During intervention days, seniors with any senior release periods on that day should report on time to their regularly scheduled block(s), and not the intervention.
