Torch Time

Torch Time is a dedicated opportunity for students to strengthen their learning and achieve greater success at school! Each Wednesday, the school day begins with a 55-minute block called Torch Time, inspired by our motto: “The Torch Held High.”

During this time, students can:

• Get extra help from teachers in specific subject areas
• Review concepts or catch up on missing work
• Work on group projects
• Use the library as a quiet study space

Torch Time is considered instructional time, and all students are expected to participate each week.

• Weekly Schedule → A schedule of available Torch Time sessions will be shared here: [Insert Torch Time Schedule Link]
• Choice & Flexibility → Students who are in good standing may choose how to use their Torch Time each week.
• Required Sessions → Teachers may require students to attend a specific session if extra help or skill development is needed.
• If a student is required to attend but does not, this will be recorded as an unexcused absence.
• If this happens more than once, the student will be referred to their grade administrator.

Sign Up → Students sign in when they arrive at the classroom of their Torch Time session.

A student is considered in good standing if they are:

• Maintaining attendance above 90%
• Earning a cumulative average of 60% or higher
• Up to date with all assignments and exams

Students in good standing may choose to begin their school day at 9:30 am on Wednesdays (with parent/guardian permission) or attend a session for additional learning. Students who are not in good standing should be attending Torch Time.

• Buses run on the regular schedule every day, including Wednesdays.
• Students who ride the bus must arrive at school at the regular time and attend a Torch Time session.
