4. Purpose of P.O.W.E.R.
Opportunity for students to HAVE CHOICE in pursuing academic enrichment and extracurricular offerings during school day
Students can use extended lunch to:
Attend Remediation/Tutorials
Study/complete homework
Take a 5th Course
Participate in enrichment activities
Collaborate with Club Advisors and other students
Intramurals/Exercise
Buy Back Absences (2 P.O.W.E.R. blocks = 1 class period)
Etc.

5. P.O.W.E.R. Lunch Because We Believe in YOU!
We Believe in the “power” of P.O.W.E.R. so much, that we are giving you, the students, 7 ½ hours a week (1 full day) to do what is best for you!
What do we want you to gain from the experience?
Find and spend time with at least one adult at North, who will get to know you as a person.
Join a club or activity to make meaningful relationships and have fun
Buy back your absences by attending remediation/tutorials (45 minute block = ½ class with that teacher)
Work when you need to work, and relax when you need a break with friends or by yourself
Ultimately, we want you to grow as a person: emotionally, physically and intellectually, while you are an important member of the Warrior Family.

6. How do we justify so much time for P.O.W.E.R.?
REMEDIATION!
Edgecombe County Schools are required to provide remediation and enrichment to students during the school year. Instead of the traditional I/E block of minutes, we have opted for a “no box” model of choice that gives all of us great flexibility.
With that being said, we designed P.O.W.E.R. around the 3 BIG EOCs (Biology, English II and Math I)
If you are enrolled in an EOC, you MUST attend an assigned remediation for one block per week.
Remediation blocks will be smaller and focused specifically on what you need to learn for a particular standard based on how you do on assessments

7. Tutorials
Tutorials will be required if you are failing or need to make up work.
Your teacher will give you a written slip with the tutorial date and block
It is your responsibility to communicate with your teacher if the time conflicts with a required remediation
We encourage you to voluntarily attend tutorials to do homework

8. Buy-Back Opportunity
From now on, you can earn buy-back credit during ANY EOC remediation or tutorial with your teacher
It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to tell your teacher to give you Buy-Back credit at the time of your remediation or tutorial
Buy-Back credit is only earned from the teacher whose class you missed with the exception of a remediation
You must serve two remediation and/or tutorial POWER Blocks to make up one absence for that teacher
Example: To buy back a class from Ms. Taylor, you would attend
Monday B (remediation) + Friday A Tutorial = 1 DAY Buy Back

9. Student Expectations for P.O.W.E.R.
The success of P.O.W.E.R. Lunch depends on you.
Our expectations for students are as follows:
Remain on campus to take advantage of additional academic/enrichment/extracurricular opportunities
Attend required EOC remediation blocks once per week
Attend tutorials as needed: required or voluntary
No loitering-Walk with a purpose to designated academic/extracurricular/eating areas
Act appropriately at all times; clean up after yourself

10. Where can students go to eat or study?
No Lunch in the following areas:
Remediation

Media Center
GYM

To Eat:

“OPEN” classrooms
“CLUB” classrooms
To Study:

14. DAY 2: What will my schedule look like for next week?
Homeroom Teacher: Pass out student schedule and weekly POWER schedule

15. Pass out student copies of WAAG

17. Do you have an EOC Course?
First, identify any EOC courses you are taking.
Find out from your teacher what block you are assigned.
Look at the next slide and fill out the student form with your remediation block(s)
Guide them step-by-step and walk around to assist students by telling them what EOC Remediation the have for Biology, Math I and English II

19. Additional EOCs?
Some of you may be enrolled in Biology and English II this semester.
If so, then you will attend two remediation periods
Although rare, a few of you are enrolled in Biology, English II and Math I, which means you will attend three remediation periods

20. Required Tutorials? Next, do you have any assigned tutorials?
Are you failing a class?
Have you been absent?
Are you behind on your assignments?
Do you want to do your homework with your teacher present?
Do you want to make up an absence through Buy-Back?
