Definition of Expunge – to erase or remove completely Once a grade has been removed from the academic record it will not be counted in GPA or count towards credit for graduation. The only opportunity to expunge a grade can only be done prior to entering high school and must be done before August 15th. An expunge form will be sent home with the end of year report card. Form must be returned to the High School. See your counselor, Ms. Harper, if you have questions.

Focus: Reading, Writing, Research, Vocab SOL competencies Basic writing skills are reinforced Mastery of basic writing skills is assumed (students advance to complex writing skills) Increased rigor & faster pace More independent learning GPA Bump: N/A GPA Bump: 0.5 Homework: ~30 minutes per class Homework: ~1-1.5 hours per class Normal Summative Assessments Year-Long Honors Common Assessment Portfolio (which requires out-of-class independent research and partially impacts final exam score) Other considerations: Do you like English & reading?

15 Taking Research Biology as a Freshman
If students are on an accelerated path, they may choose to go directly to Research Biology as a freshman.  This path is not for everyone, and is a decision that must be carefully thought out. Students who go directly to Research Biology will be missing out on important research skills that are required and expected in Biology.  In order to demonstrate readiness, freshman who choose to take Research Biology will be required to complete a summer assignment. Successful 9th grade Research Biology students are:   strong in Math (entering Geometry or higher) Organized and on top of school work Ask questions and seek help when needed Passionate about science Prepared to complete required work outside of classroom Strong in skills taught in Research Earth Science
