For students enrolled in a high school credit course: We want to make you aware of the policy for removing/expunging a high school credit course from your child’s future high school transcript should you wish to do so. This is not a route most students will take, however if you do not want your child to carry the grade they earned this year over into high school, please review the information below. The Standards of Accreditation state: “For any high school credit-bearing course taken in middle school, parents may request that grades be omitted from the student’s transcript and the student not earn high school credit for the course.” This regulation provides a current middle school student with the option to remove/expunge a high school course (grade and associated credit) taken in middle school from their high school transcript, upon request. This option must be exercised prior to June 30th of the year in which the student took the course, and students may need to retake the course the following year to move on to the next course in the content pathway. These courses and grades will remain a part of the middle school record.
High school credit-bearing courses offered at the middle school include Earth Science, Algebra I, Geometry, World History and Geography I, Art I-Discovering Art, Independent Living, Exploring Computer Science, Introduction to Game Design & Coding, 21st Century Inquiry and Leadership, French I, Spanish I, French II, Spanish II, Foundations of Spanish Part B and Foundations of French Part B. To request that the high school credit-bearing course taken in middle school be removed/expunged from the high school transcript, please complete the Google form by June 30, 2025. Please note: Beginning with the 6th grade class of 2021-2022 (graduating cohort of 2027-2028) and beyond, final letter grades earned in all high school credit bearing courses that have not been removed/expunged will be used in computing the high school GPA. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, please reach out to our Director of School Counseling, Mrs. Morgan, at ttmorgan@henrico.k12.va.us or (804) 328-4024.
