Good morning!
I hope everyone is
having a great summer. I just wanted to
touch base with you about a few items for the summer.
First of all, some of
you have requested your GPA. Please
specify what kind of GPA you want when you request it from me. Keep in mind that there are many different
GPA’s.
FPD GPA 0-100 5 core
classes (math, science, English, SS, and FL) and Bible classes…cumulative for
all 4 years (3 now). This GPA used for
Val/Sal and Honor Grads.
College GPA 4.0 scale This
is where it gets a little tricky.
Colleges factor their own GPA’s.
We do not put one on the transcript.
Some
colleges do just core classes and some do all classes. Some leave weights in (AP and Honors classes)
and
some
take weights out. Most Georgia colleges
do a core GPA with weights left in the grades.
HOPE GPA 4.0 scale Similar to College GPA but HOPE takes weights out and only
looks at core classes. They do add something
back to an AP class. More HOPE details
to
follow
this summer and fall.
Keep in mind that
once you know what GPA you want, there is no real trick to factoring it.
A’s are 4 pts.; B’s
are 3 pts.; C’s are 2 pts.; and D’s are 1 pt., and F’s are 0 pts. but usually
still count. Add it all up and divide by
total classes. Keep in mind for a
semester class cut it in half on both the total pts. and number to add for
dividing.
I will be glad to
assist if needed.
***Look for a big
packet from me in about 2 weeks with a lot of very important information.
Save the date of August 18th….7:00 Senior Parent College Meeting….more to follow.
I will be in and out
over the later part of June and July.
Email me if you need me.
Thanks and have a great summer!!
