Why is this important to us?

Govie hour gives us a chance to get

• Extra help
• Relearn material
• Make up tests
• Form relationships with peers and teachers
• Collaborate with other students on group projects
• Attend club or other activity meetings

Where do I go?

All students report to advisory for attendance right away.

Where do I go?

After attendance: ○ Students with a C- or lower stay in advisory to work on those classes needing their attention

■ Or they can get a pass from one of those teachers to get help

○ Students with C or above in all classes have options

■ stay and work in advisory ■ attend a Govie Hour meeting or enrichment activity

How does it work if I want to leave advisory for Govie Hour?

• Show a Govie Hour pass to your advisory teacher. That

pass allows you to leave to get academic help or, if your grades are average, go to an enrichment activity.

• You go straight to the other room - no stops at bathrooms
• r to see friends.

○ You stay in either your advisory or the other room for the whole period.

• If you don’t go where you were supposed to, you might not

get to go next time.

What if I get multiple passes from different teachers?

You decide what is most important to work on.

Where is my Govie Hour meeting?

• Some advisories are in a room different from their regular

advisory rooms due to scheduling conflicts

• Ask on Tuesday to make sure you have the right room

Passes

• Every student must

have a pass to leave the room

• Only adults can issue

passes

• You can request a pass

from teachers before Wednesdays!

What are the enrichment opportunities?

• Check the scrolling announcements on the TVs to see

your options

• There will always be a physical activity in the gym with

JRTOC, but if you get a pass to the gym you must bring tennis shoes and have C or higher in all classes ○ Check announcements for planned gym activity ○ Passes are available at lunches on Tuesday

Hallways

• Govie Leaders will help you find your locations
• If students are in the hallways during Govie Hour and not

using it, we won’t be able to keep it

• Keep hallways clear and take advantage of this
• pportunity to work, get help, and participate in school

activities
