Course Description:

It is scheduled often at the first period of the day or it may follow the lunch break. During homeroom, teachers take attendance, may collect lunch orders, and carry out other administrative activities. Announcements may be made, correspondence distributed, and the Pledge of Allegiance recited with the right-hand-on-heart.
