  3. TIPS for Success in High School • Do your HOMEWORK– you will have it every day! • Utilize your teachers and guidance counselor as RESOURCES • Have a good ATTENDANCE record- don’t miss school unless absolutely necessary. • Take advantage of the variety of OPPORTUNITIES available to you. • Get INVOLVED in Extra Curricular Activities – athletics, music, drama, EBCTV, clubs, student government, art, community service

  4. Before we select courses… There are some important things you should keep in mind when you select courses: • Graduation Requirements • GPA & Transcript • Add/Drop Course Policy • MA State College Admission Requirements

  6. GPA = Grade Point Average – the calculation of your grades: College Prep Honors AP A = 4 points A = 4.5 A = 5.0 B = 3 points B = 3.5 B = 4.0 Challenge yourself!

  7. What is a Transcript? THIS IS REAL NOW!

  8. Massachusetts State University Minimum Admissions Requirement Math - 4 courses (Algebra 2 minimum) Math during your final year of High School. Science - 3 courses with lab work Foreign Language – minimum 2 years in the same language

  9. Selecting Your Courses • Course levels • Required Academic Courses • Electives

  10. Course Levels • College Preparatory • Honors • Advanced Placement Teachers will recommend your level based on this years performance.

  13. Add/ The guidance department will consider changes during the first week of first semester (and the first week of semester 2 for electives only) for the following reasons: 1) Students with incomplete schedules (example: not enough subjects or subject area requirements). 2) Students who need schedule changes because of attending summer school. 3) Parent or teacher-recommended changes (before start of the year). Dropping a course to change a teacher or to avoid academic rigor is unacceptable. Lateral transfers (those that do not involve a change in level) are not permitted.
