Hello 11th Grade Ospreys and Families,
As you know, tomorrow is the final day of regularly scheduled classes before we turn our attention to preparation for Presentations of Learning. Juniors will work with their core teachers from 8:25am to 3:30pm on Thursday and Friday of this week to wrap up classes and prepare for POLs; next Monday morning will also be required POL prep for all juniors, with additional support in the afternoon for those who need it. Junior POLs are scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday.
Please review 11th grade POL schedule so your family knows when your student needs to be on campus next week for presenting and paneling. If a student does not pass their POL the first time, they will be asked to refine it and present again on Wednesday, December 14 or Thursday, December 15. Much like final exams at other schools, POLs are not optional; all students are required to successfully complete a POL in order to continue on with 2nd semester at AHS.
POLs require professional dress, which means that students must wear:
- a button-down shirt and tie, shirt with finished neck, sweater or blouse;
- a nice pair of slacks (no jeans), skirt or dress;
- dark socks to match trousers and dress shoes (no sneakers, no excessively high heels).
Unlike SLCs, if a student arrives for POL without professional dress, it will mean automatically rescheduling. Please communicate with an adult at school if procuring professional dress clothing is cost-prohibitive; we have extra clothes and will find a way to help!
Junior POLs take the form of individual job interviews that prepare them for LINK Internships. They will interview with a pair of teachers and, in most cases, one peer. In order to best simulate an interview there will not be any additional audience members, including peers and parents, in the room.
Please reach out to john.grotenhuis@animashighschool.com if you have any questions about 11th grade POLs.
