• Courses • Grades & GPA • Credits • Community Service Hours

Service Learning hours (Community Service) Courses Grades Units Credits required Credits completed Overall GPA (unweighted)

o D grades are passing and DO earn credit for graduation o However… D grades: • Are not accepted for admission by 4- year (CSU & UC) colleges in a-g classes (a-g= College Prep classes) • Will not allow you move up to the next level of many subjects (e.g., math, science, foreign language)

o F grades are NOT PASSING and will not earn credit towards graduation • Students only have 10 flexible elective credits. Any classes failed beyond those must be made up in Summer School in order to graduate.

o Students that have passed all of their classes for this semester will have 30 credits as indicated in the ‘Credit Totals’ box o If you have less than 30 credits or have a D or F in a class second semester, you should see your counselor when the announcements for summer school registration are made to pick up a summer school form.

Summer School  Summer School is the BEST way to make up credits (F grades) and to grade improve D grades BUT…  Students can only take 2 semester classes in Summer School (10 units). Strict attendance policy; no more than two absences.  The need to grade improve more than two classes may affect the student’s ability to move up levels in courses due to prerequisites, which could impact College Prep standing

Why you should NOT rely on Adult School for credit recovery:  Must be 16 years old  Limited course offerings (e.g., Science is not offered so the only way to make that course up would be through summer school)  Priority given to seniors; few juniors get into these classes  Adult School classes are not a-g classes (i.e., do not meet the 4-year college admission requirements) Only available to 1 1 th and 12 th graders who have used Summer  School and Adult School FIRST to make up classes. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OPTION FOR COURSE MAKE UP  AND IS ALSO MORE DIFFICULT

 If a student fails more than a few classes and continues this pattern, then the student will be referred to Robertson Continuation High School.

Tutoring: o Math tutoring on Thursdays at lunch or after school • (check with your Math teacher for the schedule) Science tutoring in the Library on Thursdays after • school Use School Loop to monitor your progress and track o assignments, quizzes/ tests Communicate with your teachers about: o o Your grades o Suggestions about ways to improve o Tutoring assistance- ask if it is available
