While these honors courses are separate from the regular band and choir classes, students will continue to participate in the performing ensembles with their peers who are not enrolled in the honors sections. Students in the Honors Band and Choir Program will receive a weighted grade for their work.</p><p>Procedures</p><p>Each quarter, students must earn 8 - 10 points. These points may be earned through a variety of activities outlined in this document. Points awarded are weighted based on the time commitment and the musical impact of each activity.</p><p>During the first week of each grading period, students must complete the Honors Credit Point Sheet where the student will outline how they intend to earn their points. This sheet is intended to work as a guide to help students plan their quarter. This sheet will be signed by the student and parent and then approved by the student’s director. Once this document is approved, no additions may be made to it during the quarter. </p><p>As students complete their activities, they must document their work on the Honors Credit Point Sheet and collect appropriate documentation. All assignments must be submitted by the final week of the grading period. Failure to complete activities and earn the 8 - 10 points will result in the grade for the quarter being lowered by one letter grade.</p><p>Timeline</p><p> Week 1 of each grading period </p><p> o Honors Credit Point Sheet completed and signed by student and parent due</p><p> o Sheet will be approved by director and returned to student</p><p> Weeks 2 -8 of each grading period</p><p> o Students work independently to complete activities they have outlined on the Honors Credit Point Sheet</p><p> o Students may submit activities as they complete them for approval</p><p> o Director and student will track points</p><p> Week 9 of each grading period</p><p> o Final activities and completed Honors Credit Point Sheet must be submitted </p><p>3 | P a g e Honors Band and Choir Program 2016/2017 Please refer to the Quarterly Deadlines chart on page 9 of this handbook for deadlines listed for each quarter.</p><p>4 | P a g e Honors Band and Choir Program 2016/2017 How Points May Be Earned</p><p>The next several pages explain in detail how students may earn points each grading period.
