Middle School Honors Program 8th grade

This is open to all 8th grade Students

Bear River Middle School has implemented a new Honors Program.  Classes will now be integrated with all of eighth grade students (which means that classes will be comprised of general ed and honors students).  ALL students will have the opportunity to achieve “honor” status in this new program.  The criteria for reaching honor status is as follows:

• Finishes each trimester with a grade in the 80% range
• Completes the extension project (for content relating to the core standards)--1 per trimester
• Reach a Level 4 (highest level of thinking and performance) on 80% of class assessments and projects
• Maintains an “H” in citizenship, by following all class expectations, actively participating in classroom discussions, and always turning work in on time

Reaching honor status will require more work and higher level thinking skills of each student.  Each student who reaches honor status will then have an “H” placed on their official transcript.

Your student must contact Mrs. C Udy at Bear Time tomorrow for further information.
