First Quarter Grades

Report cards for the first quarter went out last week.  Are you happy with what you earned?  If not there are some steps you can take to get better grades for Quarter 2. 

For any class you feel you did poorly in complete the following:
-Ask your teacher what you can do to improve.  Are you struggling with homework? Are you having trouble with tests?
-Schedule a time to get extra help with your teacher after school
-Find a quiet place to study at home
-Use an agenda to plan for all assignments
-Ask your peers if you have questions in a class
-Make your school work a priority!

If you are failing a class please get extra help and remember the graduation requirements from Quaboag.  Students must earn 24 credits and the amount of credits below to earn a high school diploma.

Math - 3 credits (4 credits starting with the Class of 2015)
Science - 2 credits (3 credits starting with the Class of 2013)
Social Studies - 3 credits

Physical Education and Health - 1.5 credits
Foreign Language - 2 credits starting with the Class of 2017.  Students are encouraged to take 2 years of the same foreign language as most colleges will require these classes for admission.

Remember, you can control your success in class.  Take positive steps to reach your goals!
