High School Credits

Earlier this year, I met with every 8th grade student to discuss promotion requirements and high school credits. Hopefully, they informed the parents of the discussion.

There are a few points that I would like to re-emphasize. Grades earned in Algebra I and Geometry in middle school WILL count as part of the students high school grade point average. Students were encouraged to put forth best effort in these particular courses. While these courses will count toward grade point average, they will not eliminate the required 4 math courses for high school.

So, a student taking Algebra I in 8th grade will most likely take Geometry in 9th grade. Students taking Geometry in 8th grade will most likely take Algebra II in 9th grade.
