DID YOU KNOW……
Each Semester has three marking
periods that are 6 weeks long.
At the end of a semester you take a
comprehensive EXAM. This exam
counts as 25% of your final grade.
High School Transcript
Your transcript will show every
class that you have taken while in
high school. It will include the
grade received for the course as
well as the quality points you
received for that grade.
For example:
This student took Visual Arts in 9th
grade and received a grade of 89.
An 89 is a B so he received 3
quality points for this class.
Your transcript will also include your weighted and un-weighted
GPA, class rank, and the total number of credits you have earned
towards graduation.
Calculating Grade Point Average
How to calculate your weighted GPA
1. Use the scale to assign quality points
to each grade for every course taken
in high school.
2. Add up all of the quality points to get
the total.
3. Divide the total quality points by the
total number of credits attempted.
4. Compare this number to the
corresponding letter grade.
GPA
A = 4.0
B = 3.0
C = 2.0
D = 1.0
F = 0.0

Example
Grades: English……………92
Math………………89
Science…………..85
World History…….96
Quality Points for each grade given: English…………4.0
Math……………3.0
Science………..3.0
World History.....4.0
Totally quality points: 4.0 + 3.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 = 14
Divide that total by the total number of credits attempted: 14 / 4 = 3.5 GPA
Attendance Requirements
 No more than 10 absences in one class
are allowed.
 You must be in class for at least 1 hour
to be counted present for that period.
 If you sign out 1 hour early or sign in 1
hour late to a class, you will be counted
absent.
ABSENT, NOW WHAT?
 If you go to the doctor, dentist or orthodontist, bring
a note from their office and turn it in to Mrs. Cohen in
the attendance office.
 If you have a death in your immediate family, the
school must have documentation.
The Attendance Office is where you sign in and out of school.
…back to Attendance
It all goes together…if you go over ten absences,
you may not receive credit for a class even if you
have a passing grade.
(Even if your grade is an “A” !)
Want to get your license or permit?
 If you are under 18, you must be academically eligible.
 You must earn 3 out of 4 possible credits first semester in
order to receive and/or maintain driver’s license eligibility. At
the end of the school year you must have earned 6 out of 8
credits.
 You cannot drop out of school. Eligible students who drop out
of school either will NOT be granted the Driving Eligibility
Certificate or will LOSE his/her license.
What is the difference in these
two grades?
F – you made a failing grade (59 or
lower) in the class
FF – your class average was passing
but you did not earn credit for the
course due to too many absences.
