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 18^th….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!!
