HONOR ROLL UPDATE
Since all of our related arts classes are now going to be graded each marking period, this necessitated a change to our honor roll criteria.
Honor Roll Criteria for 2022-23 is as follows:
High Honors: Students must receive As in all classes, including related arts
Honors: Students must receive all As and Bs, but no more than 3 Bs in all classes, including related arts
If your General meets the criteria for honor roll at the end of a marking period, you will see this designation in Genesis when grades are posted. Additionally, an Honor Roll certificate will be posted in Genesis several weeks after reports cards are posted.
