  7.

  8. High School credits in Middle school • High school credit is issued by Cherokee High School so high school policies will be recognized: • Attendance Policy-the State of Georgia has a “seat time” requirement that requires 150 hours of seat time per year per subject. Students in high school do not receive credit if they are absent (excused or unexcused) from the class period more than 6 days per semester. An attendance waiver committee can be convened in special circumstances for excused absences.

  9. High School credits in Middle school • Once credit has been issued, the credit and grade will remain on the transcript. • Student and parent elects to remain in the class after the “drop deadline” • Student completes the course and takes the required SLO (Spanish) or EOCT (Honors/Accelerated Algebra, Physical Science)
