PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE SCHOOL FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT.
Based on a provision of the Virginia Standards of Accreditation, 8VAC20-131-90, a middle school student who has taken a high school course while in sixth, seventh, or eighth grade (such as Algebra I, Geometry, Robotics, or a World Language) may elect to have the course expunged from the student's high school records. When a course is expunged, the grade and credit is omitted. Students are not required to repeat a high school-credited course that has been expunged unless it is a graduation requirement or a prerequisite needed to fulfill a graduation requirement.
High School Counselors are reviewing grades and may contact you to discuss expunging a grade from your students transcript.
The link below will take you to the expungement form and will have a deeper explanation of the process and direct you to read the policy if necessary.
https://permission.click/B1AeA/int/Nqbe/signee-info
Please be advised that the decision to expunge a grade is irreversible and must be made by the end of the first quarter of a student’s freshman year. Please review Policy 5035: Expunging Middle School Student Grades.
As a reminder, Loudoun County Public Schools will no longer utilize a numerical grade point average (GPA) ranking system to measure student achievement starting with the graduating class of 2025 (students entering grade nine in the 2021-2022 school year). Instead, LCPS utilizes the Latin Honors system to acknowledge student achievement. The Latin Honor System consists of three honors: cum laude (top 20%), magna cum laude (top 10%), and summa cum laude ( top 5%).
This change better aligns with the traditional student academic recognitions by colleges, universities, and surrounding local educational agencies. The complete language to the change can be found in LCPS Policy 5030 Regulation 5-5, which is titled, “Procedures for determining class rank and use of adjusted curriculum.”
Students taking Dual Enrollment classes need to attend whichever session works best for their schedule.
