MHS Senior Newsletter-CLASS OF 2021
October 2020 Edition🎓
PASSING REQUIRED CLASSES
The end of this semester is rapidly approaching. However, keep in mind there are still required courses you need to pass in order to meet graduation requirements. Do not get the impression that you do not have to do any more work to pass your required classes! You are not finished yet! You must be sure to do whatever is necessary to pass your classes so you can meet graduation requirements. Please do not put yourself in jeopardy of not graduating because you fail a required course. Work hard and keep those GPA’s up, especially if you are a college-bound (four year, two-year, or technical college student). Students who have or plan to enlist in the military also have to GRADUATE to be eligible for enlistment. If you are failing courses, please make sure to seek tutoring or extra help opportunities from your teacher(s). Please take advantage of every resource to be academically successful this semester!🎓
CREDIT RECOVERY/CLEARING UP INCOMPLETES FROM LAST SEMESTER
CREDIT RECOVERY: If you are a senior who needs to make up a required course for graduation, you MUST e-mail your counselor or the graduation coach, Mr. Harris joel.harris2@henry.k12.ga.us as soon as possible to get started with credit recovery. Students are only allowed to take one course at a time. All courses are online. WARNING– DO NOT PROCRASTINATE ABOUT MAKING UP COURSES REQUIRED FOR YOU TO GRADUATE!! This is your responsibility to make sure you are taking advantage of this opportunity. Do not wait until it’s close to graduation to start making plans to recover credit. Failure to do so will delay graduation!! The FINAL deadline to complete credit recovery courses is Friday, April 30. If you have not completed your credit recovery by the deadline, you will automatically be considered for summer school graduation in July 2021. Do not put yourself in this situation. Make contact with Mr. Harris or your counselor if you have any questions.
INCOMPLETE GRADES FROM LAST SEMESTER: Mr. Harris has extended an invitation for you to participate in the Transition Academy program to make up any "Incomplete" grades from last semester. If you have "Incompletes" from last semester, and you have not taken advantage of this opportunity, please e-mail Mr. Harris at joel.harris2@henry.k12.ga.us. All incomplete grades must be cleared by the end of this semester. If not, the final failing grade will be posted to your transcript. Please make contact with Mr. Harris or your counselor if you have questions.
