The Earned Honors Program provides an opportunity for all students to work on tasks designed for students to apply what they have learned to a new situation.
Work will be done as rigorous grade level content taught in their grade level class. Earned Honors tasks will be available in conjunction with instruction of the grade level skills, as determined by set standards in Language Arts, Social Studies and Science.
Earned Honors will be noted in report card grade comments when student work demonstrates learning beyond the standards. Students can earn the designation in one or more standards.
Earned Honors is available at Cascade, Chinook, Glacier, Pacific and Sylvester Middle Schools
