High School credits in Middle school High school credit is issued by Cherokee High School or
Woodstock High School so high school policies will be recognized:Attendance Policy-the State of Georgia has a “seat
time” requirement that requires 150 hours of seat time per year per subject. Students in high school do not receive credit if they are absent (excused or unexcused) from the class period more than 6 days per semester. An attendance waiver committee can be convened in special circumstances for excused absences. The High School principal will chair this committee.
High School credits in Middle schoolOnce credit has been issued, the credit and
grade will remain on the transcript. Student and parent elects to remain in
the class after the “drop deadline”Student completes the course and takes
the required SLO (Spanish) or EOCT (Honors/Accelerated Algebra, Physical Science)

Advantages of HS Credit during MSOpportunities for advanced course work in
high school.Rigorous program of studyPreparation for the rigors of high schoolChallenge Like-minded peer group who are serious

disadvantage of HS Credit during Middle school
Academic rigor too much NOW. If students leave the accelerated track, they could have the potential of not returning when if they had waited another year would be cognitively ready for the challenge.
The low down… Have high but reasonable expectationsIf this is not the time for the
acceleration of curriculum, it could be the right time soon.
Encourage your students to have other interest including sports, clubs, church, outside activities, hobbies.
