DALLAS — Orientation sessions have been scheduled for 10th and 11th grade students who previously attended H. Grady Spruce High School and will now be attending James Madison and Lincoln high schools.

The sessions at Madison and Lincoln will assist Spruce students in becoming familiar with their new campus. The sessions have been scheduled as follows:

• James Madison High School, 3000 Martin L. King Jr. Blvd., Wednesday, August 13, at 5:30 p.m., for 10th and 11th graders from Spruce.

• Lincoln High School, 2826 Hatcher St, on Tuesday, August 12, at 10 a.m., for 11th graders from Spruce.

• Lincoln High School, 2826 Hatcher St, on Wednesday, August 13, at 10 a.m., for 10th graders from Spruce.

Spruce seniors will have the option to finish their 12th grade year at Spruce. There will be an orientation session for students who will attend Spruce at 7 p.m., Thursday, August 21. H. Grady Spruce High School is located at 9733 Old Seagoville Road.

The Board of Trustees approved a plan to move 10th and 11th grade students from Spruce to Lincoln and Madison high schools this fall. The changes are necessary because Spruce will likely be rated Academically Unacceptable for the fourth straight year by the Texas Education Agency and because student achievement did not make significant gains this past spring.
