ATTENDANCE ATTENDANCE IS IMPORTANT TO EARNING CREDITS.  IF YOU ARE NOT IN CLASS THEN YOU CANNOT RECEIVE THE INSTRUCTION TO EARN CREDITS. The State of Tennessee and Robertson County Board of Education adopted a policy where 8 unexcused tardies or early dismissals will equal 1 unexcused absences.  10 unexcused absences result in truancy charges. Board Policy (4.520) states that if a student has an A in the course and no more than 3 excused absences, if they have a B in the course with no more than 2 excused absences.  This will exempt them from taking final exams.  Students that have had ISS or OSS will not be exempted. 

What is GPA? A = 4 points B = 3 points C = 2 points D = 1 point F = 0 points This is very important for class rank, university admissions, scholarships, etc. Your GPA starts after your very first nine weeks (quarter 1) grades. Ranking (the Board Policy-students taking advanced classes will be rank above those that do not) Advanced Classes + 3 points are added at the end of each nine weeks grade Valedictorian ties are broken the ACT scores starting with the Class of 2021.
