​ACADEMIC HONOR ROLL

The honor roll is computed each trimester in grades six, seven, and eight. It is an important means of assisting students to work to their potential. The honor roll is based on a 3.0 to 4.0 grade point average (GPA) with no grade lower than a C in the seven major academic subjects; Religion, Math, Science, Reading, English, Spanish, and Social Studies. A student must also have an 0 or G in conduct and work habits. Two detentions, two uniform violations or any major disciplinary action within a trimester will cause forfeiture of this award. Any cheating or plagiarism incident renders an automatic loss of an honor roll certificate.

 

Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed as follows:

"A" = 4 points            "A-" = 3.75 points         "B+" = 3.5 points         "B" = 3 points                       "B-" = 2.75 points "C+" = 2.5 points                                                "C" = 2 points                       "C-" = 1.75 points         "D" = 1 point               "F" = 0


CONDUCT/EFFORT CERTIFICATES     (6th, 7th and 8th grades)

Conduct/Effort certificates are given each trimester to those 6th, 7th and 8th grade students who have an O or G in conduct and work habits, but do not meet the criteria for Honor Roll.   Two detentions, two uniform violations or any major disciplinary action within a trimester will cause forfeiture of this award.  Any cheating or plagiarism incident renders a student ineligible for Conduct/Effort certificate.
