ATTENTION 8TH GRADE FAMILIES

Every year we help 8th grade students get an idea of what it is like to EARN credits in high school to graduate by conducting a CREDIT SIMULATION!


Each quarter, your counselors will check grades & will be looking for NO MORE THAN TWO F'S over all four quarters. Each quarter represents each grade level in HS.


In high school, students will take 28 credits over their four years & will need 26 to graduate.
