New 8th Grade Cedar Point Rules

This will only apply to a handful of students but I wanted everyone to know. Every year we end the year with an 8th grade trip to Cedar Point as a way of congratulating them for making it through middle school. Every year we have a few students that decide to coast through the last few marking periods and not give the effort that is expected of them. In the past, we didn't have any Cedar Point criteria to deal with that. Well.....that was in the past. In addition to our discipline point rule, which has been in effect for years, this year we have added that in order to go on the trip, you must be passing a minimum of 4 of your 6 classes each marking period. If not, they will not be able to go and they will have their money refunded. As I said above, the vast majority of our students have nothing to worry about because they do their best and pass their classes. My hope that this simple, and very attainable rule, is enough to get a few of our students to put in a little extra effort and pass their classes.
