English 12A and B students are each required to complete and document 10 hours of community service this trimester.
F. A. Q.
(Frequently Asked Questions)
1. Can I double count my hours for English 12 with other required hours?
Nope. Hours can only count for this class. No double dipping.
2. Can I split the hours between this class and another where I have to perform community service hours?
You betcha! As long as you’re not double counting your hours, you can split them any way you please.
3. May I use hours I earned prior to this class?
Nope, but there are plenty of opportunities for you to accrue more hours.
4. Do I need to have pre-approval from the teacher before counting community service hours?
Yes, if the service you’re performing is not on the Community Service Opportunities list or provided during class time.
5. If I’m taking both English 12A and English 12B at the same time, do I still have to do all the community service hours required?
Sure do. They are separate classes and requirements, and although they are related, the requirements are still graded separately.
6. Will there ever be opportunities for students during the school day?
Definitely! Each trimester is different, but there will be at least one opportunity during the school day for students to earn hours toward their final ten.
