Happy New Year!
Grading Information
We wanted to remind you of some information on grades that you may find helpful as we near the end of the semester. This information may be most useful to those of who have students who are taking a high school credit-bearing class.
- Students will earn one of the following letter grades for each semester of the 2020-2021 school year:
- A, B, Pass or No Credit (NC)
- For high school credit-bearing classes only:
- Grades of A and B will be figured into GPA (Grade Point Average), weighted GPA, and class rank.
- If your child receives a B and you prefer to take a Pass, you must contact your child’s middle school counselor by email or phone prior to the end of the semester. Deadline for first semester: January 20, 2021. Deadline for second semester: June 3, 2021.
- Students who are enrolled in an honors class and receive an A, B, or Pass for the 2020-2021 school year will receive honors credit toward the honors diploma.
- While a grade of P counts as neutral in GPA, in weighted GPA and class rank it may still have an effect. Contact your high school counselor if you would like to talk through this decision.
Special Note for Students Opting to Take a Grade of P: Students earning a B may opt to take a grade of Pass (P). If you choose this option, you are advised to contact the colleges/universities that your child is interested in attending (and the NCAA for students who may pursue college athletics) to see if they re-calculate grades of P, potentially lowering the GPA.
High School Registration
Please know that Registration and Records determines your child's high school based on your address. Our counselors and administrators do not have the authority to make any changes. If you have questions about your child's assigned high school, please contact Registration and Records. To request an Exception, please contact the department of Elementary & Secondary Education. Until we are told otherwise, our registration process will align your child to the school assigned by Registration & Records.
PTSA
The Kellogg PTSA is continuing to support students and teachers during distance learning. To be in good standing both state and national the PTSA must have the minimum of 20 members. Please consider becoming a member by using the following link: MemberHub We have virtual meetings once a month.
