Citizenship Grades

Each grading period (in general, every six weeks), students start with 50 points.

  • Each week homeroom teachers record the number of citizenship points each student still has.
  • Students with an A+ in citizenship (48-50 points) will be recognized during our AAA Award Ceremony.

Demerits (losing points)

  • If students make poor choices and don't follow school or classroom expectations, they may lose some of their points. This loss results in a lower citizenship grade.
Citizenship Letter Grade Citizenship Points
A 45-50 points
B 40-44 points
C 35-39 points
D 30-34 points
F 29 or fewer points
