34.  HONORS AND AWARDS   

Honor Roll​

The Honor Roll for grades 5 – 8 is calculated at the end of each trimester.

• To be eligible for First Honors, students must have a trimester GPA of 3.7 – 4.0, and have an "O" or "G" in both Conduct and Work Habits.
  
• To be eligible for Second Honors, students must have a trimester GPA of 3.3 to 3.69 and have an "O" or "G" in both Conduct and Work Habits.

The average is computed from all subjects according to the following scale:    

A = 4.0 points     

A- = 3.7 points

B+ = 3.3 points

B = 3 points

B- = 2.7 points

C+ = 2.3 points

C = 2.0 points

C- = 1.7 points           

D+ = 1.3 points

D = 1 point

A trimester grade of "D" or "F" in any subject disqualifies a student from the Honor Roll. 

​Middle school Conduct and Work Habit grades will be respectively averaged from all subject-specific mark​ings in these two categories. Each middle school homeroom teacher will calculate these averages at the trimester grading period. The homeroom period will be graded based on student participation and therby assigned a Conduct grade at the trimester.​
