Sign Up Now for Junior Excellence session II
The next session of Junior Excellence starts October 28. If you anticipate absences from the Junior Excellence classes, fees may be prorated if you ask at the desk for a blue Request to Prorate form and submit it during the first week of the session. Simply telling the desk personnel or the pros that a student will not attend will not trigger prorated fees. For those absences that were not declared and prorated, we have a Junior Excellence makeup day (no additional charge) scheduled for 4:30–6 pm Monday, November 25, and Monday, December 16.
