That's because 7th graders don't need volunteer hours.

They probably also haven’t told 7th graders about the 8th grade formal, Oakton's prom, requirements for high school graduation attire, or when college applications are due. Why? Because 7th graders dont need that information yet.

If hours from 7th grade can count toward the total, then yes we need that information. We don’t want to saddled with it all in one year.

Depends on the school, DC’s school takes 7th grade hours. NJHS won’t take hours prior to the 7th induction ceremony.

They sure as hell count at Carson. Kids try to get some done in 7th so it’s not so much in 8th when they also have to do NJHS hours (if they join). Carson also does an excellent job of offering opportunities right at the school itself so it’s easier. They also have a dedicated schoology page for service opportunities.

+1 kind of crappy if a school won’t accept service hours in 7th considering it’s called “middle school service hours.”

They've changed it then, for 7th grade hours definitely did not count when my two eldest kids went to Carson, and that wasnt that long ago.

My kid was at Carson just two years ago in 8th and was able to use hours from 7th and 8th.

Our kids must've had different Civics teachers, and there was not consistency among teachers. My kid's teacher did not allow hours from 7th grade.

Welcome to FCPS. Since some teachers allow hours to count from 7th, kids should be taught as soon as they begin middle school about service learning and how to get hours and how to use the system to record them. That way they can start early.
