  James Workman has developed an official policy regarding student participation in special activities at the end of the academic year.  Traditionally, JWMS has held grade level BBQ's and other special events to honor students' hard work.  Students need to start the 2011-2012 school year with the end in mind; the criteria that will be used to determine participation eligibility in end of the year activities can be found below:


Criteria for Participation in End of Year Activities
In an effort to help middle school students be more successful in middle school, to help them 
develop and maintain good study habits and focus, and to provide a more structured transition 
from elementary school to high school, the criteria for participation in end-of-year activities are 
listed below:

-Maintain a minimum of a 1.75 cumulative GPA
-Receive no more than 10 days of ISS/OSS combined 
-Receive no referral resulting in ISS/OSS within 30 days of the event (exclusion list) 
-GPA is determined by averaging Trimester 1, Trimester 2 and Hexmester 5 (Progress Report) grades together. All subject areas will calculate into GPA.

-Grade Level BBQ
