High School Forecasting Q&A 2021-22 by Kelly Greenberg https://padlet.com/kgreenberg6/yw1ujpaidgd6er4s Please use this Padlet to ask a question. I will do my best to answer them here! en-us 2022-01-24 16:28:27 UTC 2026-01-30 22:10:14 UTC hello@padlet.com how could someone graduate early? https://padlet.com/kgreenberg6/yw1ujpaidgd6er4s/wish/2009780027 Students start the conversation with their families and then their counselor.
There is a process with paperwork, plan to complete the courses early, meeting with Admin (principal). All of this happens by the end of 10th grade.
It's important to think about why you want to graduate early.  You can take a bunch of dual credit and AP classes that would allow you to earn college credit for free while in high school.

So yes, that's the correct choice.

Sometimes, they have students that take the class for only 12th grade. Their goal is to make the program as accessible to students as possible. The only situation where it might get complicated would be a transfer into an AVID class mid-semester due to class sizes and scheduling issues. ]]> 2022-01-25 19:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kgreenberg6/yw1ujpaidgd6er4s/wish/2012061595 when do you have to sign up for sports teams https://padlet.com/kgreenberg6/yw1ujpaidgd6er4s/wish/2012096854 You can find out information about registering for sports here: https://www.pilathletics.com/page/show/2351756-pilysp-registration ]]> 2022-01-25 19:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kgreenberg6/yw1ujpaidgd6er4s/wish/2012096854 do i have to tryout for soccer https://padlet.com/kgreenberg6/yw1ujpaidgd6er4s/wish/2012106979 Yes, and Franklin offers both "boys" and "girls" soccer. 
Later in the spring the athletic director will send out info about fall sports, summer conditioning etc.

Even though the window has technically closed for Benson High School, they are allowing students to continue to apply. Let Ms. Greenberg know if you still want to apply for Benson HS. Email at kgreenberg@pps.net 

The window is closed to apply for any of the other lottery option schools, unfortunately. However, you can apply next year if you're adamant about switching schools after 9th grade. ]]> 2022-01-25 19:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kgreenberg6/yw1ujpaidgd6er4s/wish/2012109414 How do I calculate my GPA? kgreenberg6 https://padlet.com/kgreenberg6/yw1ujpaidgd6er4s/wish/2012318928
  • Multiply each numeric grade value by the number of credits the course was worth
  • Add these numbers together
  • Divide the total numeric grade value by the total number of credits you took.
  • A = 4 credits
  • B = 3 credits
  • C = 2 credits
  • D = 1 credit
  • F = 0 credit
    • If get A's in all of your classes during 9th grade, you will multiple 4 (numeric grade value) x 8 (number of full year classes you took) = 32. Divide 32 by the number of full year classes you took (32/ 8 = 4.0).
