When a student takes a course at the middle school level that carries high school credit (e.g., Algebra, Geometry, Arabic I/II, Chinese I/II, French I/II, Latin I/II, Spanish I/II, World Geography, or Investigating Computer Science), the parent/guardian of that student has the following choices.
- Count the credit (if earned) and course toward high school graduation requirements and include the course final grade in the student’s grade point average (GPA) when computed at the high school level.
- Do not count the course final grade in the student’s grade point average when computed at the high school level, and do not count the credit (if earned) and course toward high school graduation requirements.
Parents will receive a notification of this option with their child’s final report card. If the middle school staff does not receive the parent request to omit the course by the specified date, any credit earned, and grade will be included in the student’s high school records (based on Virginia Standards of Accreditation).
A parent/guardian may request the omission of high school credit bearing courses taken during middle school from their final transcript until the endo of the student’s junior year of high school.
