| I had no idea our school even had an honor roll until a notice came home in my kid’s backpack today. Does this mean anything at all beyond the postcard? What does a kid have to do to make honor roll anyway? |
It’s just grades. It doesn’t mean anything more. |
|
As and Bs for Honor Roll?
All As gets Principal’s List. |
Kid did get all As so I don’t think that’s the system at our elementary. |
Must differ by school. Our school does a special breakfast for PL but that’s it. Oh - and a pin at the end of the year if you get it all four quarters. |
What school is this? |
That's nice! I was surprised to learn our APS elementary does nothing to recognize honor roll, PL or all A's all four quarters. |
Really? That's pretty odd. Why? |
| My kid had straight As all 12 quarters when grades were given and there was never any recognition. |
| At DC's N Arlington elem school, straight As are handed out way too liberally. Our experience was lax standards and poor writing instruction. Depending on the year and who the class teacher was, GT designation also meant nothing. Honor roll at our school was a useless designation. |
Don't want to make the kids who don't make it feel bad. |
