  6. Fall PrioritiesMaking the Most of 10th Grade • Communication and Connection is Key • Find the balance between being a helicopter and leaving your child on an island • It’s not too soon to start exploring colleges and their requirements • College Visits for 10th graders begin spring semester • Know what’s coming • PSAT in October as practice for SAT • Consider SAT/ACT Prep class in spring or early Junior Year • Make up credits now, don’t wait until senior year. Only 25% of students who begin 12th grade off track end up graduating on time.

  8. Post-Secondary Planning Just start thinking about it…. Approx. 95% of Roswell seniors report going to a 2 or 4 year institution after graduation. College Considerations Primary Factors #1- GRADES Rigor- but balance! Test Scores Activities, Demonstrated Interest, Essays, institutional factors • Gap Year • Military • Work-Ready

  9. HOPE ScholarshipJust the basics… HOPE/Zell Rigor Requirement: Starting with the Class of 2017, students are required to earn 4 credits in courses possessing “academic rigor” May include but not limited to AP/Honors courses Examples: Chemistry, Spanish 3, Algebra II • Must have minimum 3.0 in Core Classes Only • Middle School Grades do not Count for HOPE • HOPE subtracts the 7 Honors points we add to Honors/AP/MOWR • Then add 0.5 weight to AP/MOWR classes only (not Honors) • Most Academic Electives Count for HOPE (Speech, AP Psych, Current Issues) • Grades for all attempted academic classes included (even F’s)

  10. Healthy Academic BalanceThe key to a happy child and a happy home • Pay attention to your child’s workload and commitments inside and outside the classroom. • Find the balance between academic rigor, interesting courses, and time for pizza on Friday night with friends • Students involved in activities or sports are usually better able to balance their commitments because they have to learn to manage time and be responsible. • Pay close attention to your child’s social, emotional, and physical health and consult with professionals as needed.
