GANG RELATED ACTIVITIES
Students who use, employ, or rely upon gang membership or affiliation to threaten, intimidate, or to verbally or physically harass or harm other students, employees or persons attending a school-related function, are subject to increased disciplinary penalties.
GEORGIA SCHOLARS PROGRAM
The Georgia Scholars Program provides special recognition for exceptional achievement in academics and leadership, and is a recognition-only program. No scholarship funds are associated with the Georgia Scholar Program. In order to qualify for this recognition, students must maintain a 3.75 non-weighted, cumulative Grade Point Average. Additionally, students must achieve a minimum combined score of 1360 on the critical reading and mathematical reasoning skills sections of the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) Reasoning Test at one test administration or a composite score of 31 at one test administration on the American College Test (ACT). Plans must be made beginning in the 9th grade to meet all curriculum, leadership, attendance and fine arts requirements. Applications are usually due by early February of a student’s senior year; please see a counselor as early as possible if interested.
GOVERNOR'S HONORS PROGRAM
The Governor's Honors Program is a four-week summer instructional program designed to provide intellectually gifted/talented high school students with challenging and enriching educational opportunities not available during the regular school year. Students in 10th and 11th grade are eligible to apply in the early fall, and students should contact their counselor for details about this program. GHP is held in mid-summer (mid-June to mid-July) at Georgia Southern University. It is the longest running program of its kind in the nation, and it is free for GHP students.
GRADE REPORTING TO PARENTS
A progress and grade reporting schedule is published annually and is available from the school counseling office.
• ProgressReports
Parents may check student progress by utilizing the online Parent Portal of Infinite Campus. (See the “Parent Portal” section of this handbook for additional information.) Printed progress reports will no longer be issued by schools except by parent request.
An INCOMPLETE (I) grade on the grade report indicates work that has not been completed. A student has 10 days from the end of the grading period to complete all assignments. Class work not completed will be assigned a grade of zero and averaged with grades to determine the semester average. If a student has not completed a Milestones End of Course (EOC) test, the incomplete will remain until three attempts have been made to administer the EOC. After three attempts to administer the EOC test, the score will count in the student’s grade as a zero.
• ReportCards
Report cards will be available approximately seven (7) days after the school year ends. Parents may check student grades by utilizing the online Parent Portal of Infinite Campus.
