[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its only 10 hours. Let it go. 
Follow the deadlines to the letter for this next few years.[/quote]

Ten hours is a lot to lose if you're a middle schooler trying to achieve the 75 before HS.  Some kids get tons of hours from CIT at camps their parents have paid for in prior years, or get their summer swim to give them a lot of hours for timing/organizing events they were going to attend anyway, and for them to lose 10 hours is no big deal.  But for other it's a struggle, particularly for kids for less privileged backgrounds.

Maybe the OP could send a note to the volunteer org that sent the form the day before the deadline and see if they can advocate for the kid not losing the hours.[/quote]

If the deadline is approaching,  and they tell you many times when that deadline is, and you dont have your forms its time to start emailing thr ssl coordinator and the volunteer organization to start a paper trail. They cant and shouldn't break the rules just for one student.  Other students surely also has short deadlines and mass it happens others lost their hours and quietly took the L.
There is plenty of time to make it up.[/quote]

Most teens aren’t going to complain that an adult isn’t doing their job and filling out forms in a timely fashion and escalate the issue to the school SSL coordinator. Most adults wouldn’t even do that.

I personally think the SSL system is a waste of resources and would cut it if I were running MCPS.  Half the students aren’t meeting basic proficiency levels in reading and math and yet MCPS dedicates so many resources to pushing SSL.
