Offer high school credit to 8th graders
Extend opportunities for advanced
In order for the student to earn high school credit and have the
course grade calculated into their high school GPA he/she must have a:
Any student not reaching the goal will not receive high school
credit for Algebra 1 Honors and will not have the course grade calculated into the student’s high school GPA.
Since the course taught with an Honors Curriculum, the grade
will be weighted.
The table below is a general guideline for a student’s future
enrollment based on achievement in the 8th grade Algebra 1 course.
This table serves only as a guideline for future course placement and
does not guarantee that a student will be placed into the freshman year course associated with the 8th Grade Algebra I course grade. Teacher recommendations and other anecdotal information may be utilized to more accurately place a student in subsequent mathematics courses.
Parents will be able to access their child’s
grades through PowerSchool, the online grading portal.
Each student and parent will be given login
access so they can track the progress of their students.
While we do not expect there to be any discipline
problems, please note the following interventions/outcomes for discipline:
Cheating – Zero for the assignment/test with no
possibility for make-up; Phone call to parents and home
being dropped from the class.
Misbehavior – Phone call to parents and home
home school’s administrator in order for him/her to determine the consequences. If misbehavior continues, the student may be dropped from the class.
All student absences will need to be reported to the
LPHS Attendance Office.
(Only applicable for in-person learning)
All students will attend class based on the LPHS
based on this calendar.
(Only applicable for in-person learning)
If the student’s home school is not in session, the
student will still attend Algebra (remotely) at LPHS.
With the goal of the course to help our
students reach the higher level math courses, this course will be taught using our Algebra 1 Honors curriculum.
The goal is for students to be ready for
Geometry Honors in the Fall of 2021.

(only applicable for in-person learning)
Within 10 school days of original test retake the exam New score will be the score counted for a grade
Students will be issued an LPHS email account and LPHS
network access.
Students will also use 8th grade Algebra Google Classroom
regularly.
Edgenuity will be utilized to provide students with a robust
curricular experience.
Usage of this technology will require the completion of the
District’s technology forms.
If the student’s middle school doesn’t provide technology
(i.e.: Chromebook) then students will use LPHS technology. Students will be subject to the LPHS Technology Policy.
Online platform that LP is using for the
2020-2021 school year
LP will provide all students with usernames
and passwords
Students will use it for instruction,
homework, quizzes, and test
The first day of student attendance for 8th Grade
Honors Algebra I will be Wednesday, August 19, 2020
All 8th Grade Honors Algebra students will meet
remotely with their teacher each day that LPHS is in session.
Teachers will communicate other logistical
information out to their individual students in the coming days.
