  6. Your Future Starts Now! • This is a chance for a fresh start. • Grades and attendance earned in the 9th grade impact your GPA , admission to college, and possibly CVCC admission. • GPA=Total of Quality Points divided by credit attempted.

  7. Your Freshman Year is Pivotal! • Personal Responsibility increases. Teachers are willing to work with you, but not FOR you. Student, teacher, and parent communication is very important. • Attendance is crucial. You cannot learn if you are not in class participating. It is easier to keep up with the work rather than to catch up to the work.

  9. Things to Consider for Scheduling • What do you need to graduate? • What are your plans after high school? • Are you going to attend CVCC? • What are your interests? • Talk to your parents and teachers. • What is your past school performance? • Are you working towards an honors diploma?(pg. 7 in Program Booklet)
