General Information

What is a GPA?

Grade Point Average. An average of all the grades earned by a student each quarter. An A=4 points, a B=3 points, a C=2 points, a D=1 point, and an F=0 points. The G.P.A. is the total number of points divided by the number of classes.

Grade and Progress Reports

Every 5 weeks we send out progress reports. You can keep track of your student’s grades by checking Schoology, attending back-to-school night, communicating with teachers and the school counselor.

Report Cards

Reports cards are mailed out every 10 weeks, with the final 20 week report card mailed out at the end of the semester.

Credits

Each course earns 5 credits, if students earns a “D” or better.

Student Planners

Students are encouraged to use their school issued planner to write down assignments, homework, and due dates for presentations or projects. Using a planner is helpful in staying organized and meeting school deadlines. Studies show that students who use a planner are more academically successful.

Textbooks

Students are assigned textbooks for their courses at the beginning of each semester. Students are responsible for returning textbooks after each semester (only hard covered texts should be returned). Online textbooks can be found on Schoology under student’s courses.

Culmination Requirements (8^th grade)

Students must pass 10 out of their 12 courses to be able to culminate in 8^th grade. Students need to earn a total 50 credits total and not have more than 3 U’s on the final semester of their 8^th grade year.
