Honor Roll
In order to qualify for the Honor Roll in a marking period, a student must be taking a minimum of five credits (not including Health or Physical Education) in that marking period. First Honors is awarded to students who earn an unweighted average for all courses of 4.0 and above. Second Honors is awarded to students who earn an unweighted average for all courses of 3.5-3.99. A grade of "D", "F", or "I" in any course will disqualify a student from Honor Roll.
Common Terms:
Unweighted GPA - calculates your overall average grade out of 4.0, without regard to the difficulty of your coursework.
Weighted GPA - reflects both grades and course levels.
Grade Calculations
Full year course when x=grade earned:
.225(x) + .225(x) + .05(X) + .225(x) + .225(x) + .05(x) = 60
Half year course when x=grade earned
.45(x) + .45(x) + .1(x) = 60

Absent From School?
Absences and Homework:
1) It is recommended that students get to know at least one other student in each of their classes for the purpose of obtaining homework in the event of an absence.
2) For absences which are known about in advance, students should discuss this with their teachers and get assignments prior to the absence.
3) Visit your Teacher's website!
Counselors can request homework from teachers on behalf of students. Such request should only be considered for long-term absences, and require a minimum of 24 hours notice.
