IF
I AM BEHIND IN CREDITS WHAT SHOULD I DO AND WHEN SHOULD I DO IT???????
As a current 10th grader, you can tell if y= ou are behind in credits by checking your transcript. In the section of your transcript entitled Credit Summary – High School, look at the total credi= ts completed at the bottom of the Cmp column= . If you are ‘on track’ = for graduation it should read 90 or more. If you are behind in credits it me= ans that you probably failed one or more classes, which will need to be made up= (in the case of required academics). Most of the opportunities for ‘making up credits”= occur in 11th and 12th grades. Listed below are some of those tha= t are reasonable for 11th graders.&nb= sp;
HOW CAN I MAKE UP CREDITS AND GET ‘ON TRACK=

FOR GRADUATION??????

bsp; =
;
The best =
way
for a current 10th grader to begin making up credits is by enrol=
ling
in one or two 6.5 period classes.
Each of these is worth 2.5 credits of elective credit.
2.&n=

;
10th=
graders who are behind in credits should enroll in summer school. Summer s=
chool is
a good place to make up a class that was failed (i.e. World History) or enr=
oll
in a computer class or health if not already passed. Making up credits earlier rather t=
han
later is a GOOD thing. Remember
that for this class, students will be required to complete all 230 credits =
by
graduation in order to participate in the ceremony.
