Principal's
Corner
Dear Students and Staff,
Welcome back to
another exciting school year. With the fall weather comes
a new school year and a new opportunity to plan for the
future.
Tracy High School,
along with other alternative programs, offers students in
our community several different ways to make up school
credit. There are numerous reasons why students fall behind
in school, family problems, health problems, and attendance
problems just to name a few. Whatever the reasons, the fact
is that every single failing grade a student earns in high
school must be made up before graduation. This is the reason
every community in California needs a school dedicated to
helping students regain their academic position after they
have experienced a problem period in school. That is the
reason school districts are required to have alternative
programs like Tracy. The ABC Unified Community is fortunate
to have one of the best Alternative High Schools in the
State here at Tracy.
Tracy offers students, who have good attendance
and work habits, the chance to earn credit at an accelerated
pace. Students who come to Tracy a semester or a year behind
in academic credit have the opportunity to take extra classes,
receive work experience credits and to earn bonus credit.
Students who work hard for a semester or two have the chance
to transfer back to their home schools to graduate, or to
graduate on time, or even early, from Tracy.
The four most important factors in catching
up in credit are, good attendance, being on task in class,
being a good citizen and being cooperative in classes. Also
remember, part of being a good citizen at school, includes
being on time for every class and being polite and cooperative
with all school staff and with classmates.
Welcome Back – Tracy Students
Sincerely
Tom Drulias
Principal

Block
Day News!
Dear
Parents,
In an effort to give
Tracy High School students the best in alternative education,
we will continue to provide block days once every quarter.
Block days are worth one credit to students who participate
in them. Block days give teachers the opportunity to emphasize
particular areas of instruction in one, two, or three-hour
blocks.
The schedule on these
days is as follows:
First period classes
meet as usual. At 8:43, all students attend their 2nd
period class. During this time, students will sign
up with the teacher of their choice to attend three, one-hour
classes or blocks. Students will then start the "block
day" at 9:00 a.m. It is crucial that all students arrive
by 8:40 on these days. Students arriving late will be assigned
a block to attend, and sometimes, the assigned block may
not be something that they want to do.
All buses will run at
the regular weekday schedule on these days.
Any student who needs
to leave campus before 1:00 p.m. on these days must bring
a note from home.
If you have any questions,
please call (562) 926-5566 Extension: 22207
