9th Grade Success Presentation

Good Day Impact Academy Students& Parents.

Today is a presentation on 9th grade guidance.

Ninth grade success love the life you have while you

create the life of your dreams.

Hal Elroy.

First thing I want to talk about is some typical

night grade courses.

So for english we have night great literature and composition.

For this school year there will be no end of

course tests.

Um For ninth grade list so you don't have to

worry about that.

That will count as 20% of your overall grade.

But this year we won't have anything for ninth grade

lit. Just for this school year From Math, a typical

course would be algebra one.

There is an end of course test for this course.

Science. Um typically is biology.

Some students have environmental art maybe something else but biology

has an end of course test, Social Studies, there is

no 9th grade social studies course but a lot of

students take a social studies elective like world geography in

their schedule.

Health and personal fitness is required for 1/9 well for

graduation requirements but it's typical or ninth grade course and

then kids are taking CTE fine arts are foreign language

elective. Usually some kids are starting out in their year,

one of a foreign language and we offer many foreign

languages such as spanish french german latin.

Or you might be starting out in your C.

T. A.

E. Career in your intro classes like intro to health

care science, intro to business technology.

So again these are typical ninth grade courses but some

students are ahead saying algebra, you might have taken it

in eighth grade, so you're taking geometry and for 1/9

grader. So these are just typical ninth grade horses, but

they're not standard.

It can vary based on each individual student rates matter

now a lot freshman grace affect your high school transcript

more than any other year.

The great you earn as a freshman set the stage

for your accumulative G.

P. A.

For the rest of your high school career.

It is very difficult to bring up a G.

P. A.

That has low scores, grades are a representation of you

and how much work you have put forth in.

Of course.

Now it's a good time to start planning for your

future and plan to get good grades because your grades

can influence your future opportunities.

Remember that to graduate, you have to pass classes to

earn credit.

Fallon equals no credit can equal delayed graduation and no

one don't want to be delayed for their graduation year.

Now we can start thinking about what's happening now in

the fall semester and what we want to do in

the spring semester.

So first semester's fall semester, second semester, spring semester.

So right now this is the time to explore possible

career ideas.

These are your elected.

So your intro, the health care science intro, the law

and justice.

You saw something on tv.

Are you always thought that you are interested in a

particular field?

This is the time to explore those intro classes to

see if that's really something that you're interested in?

Make a list of interesting talents and consider how they

feel. It's a different career path.

Set goals.

It is so important to set goals because if you

don't know where you're going you don't know how you're

going to get there.

So have a goal set and set a goal for

each one of your classes, join school clubs, sports and

our community activities.

We are in the process of getting clubs set up.

You might want to join some club and might be

virtual or some type of sports or community activities that

are going on because you want to make sure you

have a happy and healthy balanced life.

So look out for different information on our website about

clubs and just check with your community all together to

see if there's something that you may be interested in

that you feel safe and participating in second semester, spring

semester. This is the time to start planning out courses

for next year.

What do you want to do for your sophomore year?

Do you want to continue that career pathway that you

started during your freshman year?

Do you want to try something new?

Start thinking about colleges based on your interesting career goals?

This is dual enrollment?

Um you want if you're interested in doing dual enrollment.

This is a time to find out what is dual

enrollment, What do I have to do to get enrolled

into a college?

What test do I have to take?

Is that the A.

C. T.

S. A.

T. A.

K. A placer.

What grades do I have to have?

What G.

P. A.

Do I have to have?

This is the time to start thinking about those things

and and your zone school counselor can help you work

through. What classes can I take our, what classes do

I qualify to take doing dual enrollment?

Also in the spring, you want to start a list

of your awards, your honors, paid and volunteer work or

any extracurricular activities that you participate in because you want

to update this throughout high school because at the end

of your high school career you might need a reference

from your zone school counselor and having all this information

will help them write you a beautiful, nice reference for

a college or a job.

Some important days to keep in mind is the P.

S. A.

T. And the pre.

S. A.

T. Um This school year, I don't think the county

has given out the pre A.

C. T.

But they are giving out the P.

S. A.

T. There was an email sent out to parents and

students earlier this month in september about how to sign

up for the P.

S. A.

T. And night graders are eligible to take the P.

S. A.

T. Um But um and if you were interested there

is a charge of $14 and you would have to

pay that.

But I believe the deadline has passed today but that

email was sent out early in september to each parent

and each student.

Also, another thing to consider is a, as if you're

really interested in going deep diving into some unique career

pathways. The Academy for Advanced Studies is the place to

definitely check out, consider taking some advanced career technology courses

over there and they will send out information during second

semester, the email to parents and students about when our

open house days, One of days you can come view

their courses, talk to their teachers and dates to sign

up for courses for the next school year.

So look out for that information.

So more important days to keep in mind is the

end of the first nine weeks, end on October eight.

First semester ends December 22, 39 weeks in March, the

18th And second semester last day of school is May

the 27.

So keep those dates in mind set goals so that

you get everything done before those dates occur.

Bridge Bill requirements.

So the bridge bill is building resourceful individuals to develop

Georgia's economy Act.

It provides middle and high school students with career counseling

and rarely scheduled advisement to choose a focus plan to

study this year.

We're gonna be using a new platform called na'vi incense

and we're gonna use it to complete the bridge bill

instead of use science.

Not obvious is a college career and life reading this

platform that connects academic achievement to postsecondary goals.

And there will be more information to come out and

guidance will be given to each student so that they

can complete their bridge bill requirement each year there is

a requirement what our graduation requirements?

Well you need four english language arts for maths for

sciences, three social studies, three C.

Take see th E.

And our world language latin and or fine arts credits.

You need one health and personal and physical education credit

And for electors for a minimum of 23 credits.

So you have to have these specific minimum of 23

credits to meet graduation requirements.

Also, many students graduate with way more electors than they

need to.

But you have to have a minimum of these requirements

and a minimum of 23 units requirements for promotion or

graduation are great placement From 9 to 10th grade, you

must earn at least five credits from 10 to 11.

You have to earn at least 11 credits And from

11 to 12 grade you must earn a minimum of

17 credits.

Most important thing I can tell you is to take

care of you.

One of the most important tips I can give you

is to take care of yourself and stay healthy, get

enough sleep and be sure to eat healthy foods without

these things.

Your mind cannot perform at pink potential.

Your body is a machine and these are the two

few items that can make or break your success in

school and beyond remember.

Your goal.

Your goal is to graduate from high school.

Your parent wants to see you walk across that stage,

get that diploma and you want to feel that sense

of success.

So make sure you focus, set goals.

Ask questions will need it.

You have lots of help and you have lots of

guidance. Just reach out.

I hope you learned some new information and if you

have any questions, please feel free to reach out to

your impact academy counselor if you have any questions.
