What Is It ?????
Credit
23
Credit is

• For the first time, in high school, you will earn
  credit for each course that you pass.
• For a semester course, you will earn ½ credit.
• For a full year course, you will earn 1 credit.

24
What if I fail a course required for graduation?
25

• You will not be able to graduate until you pass
  the course and earn the credit.

26
What Are The Two Ways Credit Can Be Earned ?
27
1
Earn a final grade of 70 or higher in your
classes.
2
Attend each class at least 90 of the time.
28
Besides graduation, why are credits important?

• The number of credits you have determines your
  grade level. You cannot be moved to the next
  grade level unless you have the proper number of
  credits

  you dont earn credit in English 1 and Algebra,
  you cannot be promoted regardless of the number
  of credits you earn.)?

Whats a GPA?

• Grade Point Average You accumulate a GPA at the
  end of each semester.
• Each grade you make is assigned a grade point
  value. For example, if you make 95 in regular
  English 1, you receive 95 grade points.
• At the end of the semester, your total number of
  grade points is divided by your total number of
  classes for your GPA. Example If you make all
  95s in 7 classes, your GPA would be 95. 95 X 7
  (665) divided by 7 classes 95

31

• As you move through high school, your grade
  points and semesters accumulate, and your GPA
  changes according to each semesters grades.
• When you graduate, your final GPA is posted on
  your transcript.
• Why is that important?

32

• You will be ranked in your class according to
  your grade point.
• The top 10 of graduating seniors will be
  automatically accepted at any state supported
  school.
• Your GPA will be a factor in admission to some
  colleges.
• Your GPA will be a factor in receiving
  scholarships.
• So remember

33

• The grades you make as a Freshman are just as
  important as the grades you make as a Senior!
