  1. Essential Academic Information www.urbanprep.org

  2. Grading Scale • Grading Scale A 100 - 94 = 4.0 A- 93 - 90 = 3.75 B+ 89 - 87 = 3.25 B 86 - 83 = 3.00 B- 82 - 80 = 2.75 C+ 79 - 77 = 2.25 C 76 - 73 = 2.00 C- 72 - 70 = 1.75 F 69 - 0 = 0.00

  3. Weighted Scale • Weighted Scale In-class assessments- 40% Special Projects- 25% Skills Checks (Do Now, Exit Tix)- 20% Skills Practice (aka HW)- 10% Preparation- 5%

  4. Understanding Credits • Each single period class is worth 0.5 credit • Double period classes (English Survey, Math)are worth 1 credit • Students can earn a maximum of 3.5 credits each semester (semesters run August to December AND January to June)! A total of 7 credits can be earned each academic year. • Honor and AP classes are NOT worth more credits – they only affect GPA’s!!! • Pride AND Lunch do not receive credits! NOTE: If a student fails pride, he must make this class up over the summer by participating in course lead by our dean’s department

  5. In Order to Be Promoted To be promoted, a student can only be deficient one credit at any give time. • Freshman must have 6 credits by the end of their Freshman year to be promoted to 10th grade! • Sophomores must have 13 credits by the end of their Sophomore year to be promoted to 11th grade! • Juniors must have all 21 credits by the end of Junior year in order to be promoted to Senior year. *Since UP students must have all credits to start their Junior year, any failed classes MUST be made up!

  6. Your Responsibility It is the SOLE responsibility of the student and Family to monitor student grades and credits. The following are resources at your disposal to track student academic progress: • Progress report pick up FOUR times a year • Access to PowerSchool • Contact with teachers or pride leader

  7. How to Make Up Credits • Saturday School – (hosted by Chicago Public Schools-CPS- for most classes and Urban Prep for classes that CPS does not offer such as English Composition and PE. • Summer School (hosted by CPS, requires a referral form completed by the Counseling Department) – Summer School only runs in the Summer Time (end of June through August) • ***Parents must pay out-of-pocket to register their child in Saturday or summer school!!! (around $450/course) • NOTE: Evening School is not an option for our students since the latest classes start at around 4pm when our school let’s out.

  8. Final Thoughts/Questions • All students are required to know the magic numbers 6, 13, 21! • All students are required to follow up with the Counseling Department for Evening, Saturday and/or Summer School information (the Counseling Department will send all staff an email once information is posted – students must be proactive in receiving the necessary forms. The Counseling Department will not seek students out). • Mrs. Williams in the main office is the School Registrar – all grades, transcripts, etc are submitted to her. Questions and/or Comments?
