MCPS Policy on High School Courses Taken in Middle School

Information on high school credit for high school courses taken in middle school can be found on the MCPS Grading and Reporting website
http://www.mcps.k12.md.us/info/grading/qa/qa5.shtm#hscourses When you click on the link to the left, a second browser window will be opened up.  Close that window when you are done to return to the B-CC site.

Please note: The procedures for awarding credit for high school courses taken in middle school have been changed. Students who took high school courses in middle school before school year 2004-05 and who do not want a grade to appear on their transcripts will have until June 30, 2005 to request that grades and credits for these courses be removed. These students should use MCPS form 560-53, "Removal of Credit for High School Courses Taken in Middle School", available at the Counseling Office and on the MCPS website, www.mcps.k12.md.us/departments/forms/pdf/560-53.pdf When you click on the link to the left, a second browser window will be opened up.  Close that window when you are done to return to the B-CC site.
For more information on these changes, and on whether to remove these courses from the transcripts, please contact the Counseling Office.

It is also important to check your student's transcript to make sure that geometry and foreign language level 3 courses taken at Westland have the correct honors designation. Please contact the Registrar's Office if there is an error.

Revised MCPS Attendance Definitions

As of November 7, 2005, schools will use the below definitions of "days present" (which reverts to language in place prior to the beginning of this school year) to record absences.

"A student should be counted present for 1/2 day if in attendnace any part of the school day. A student in attendance for more than 1/2 day is counted present for a full day. A Grade 12 student enrolled for less than a full day is to be counted present based on the amount of time he/she is enrolled. For example, if a Grade 12 student is enrolled for period one only, that student will be counted present for a full day if the student is in attendance for period one, regarless of any variations in scheduling."
