NEHS HIGHLANDER STUDENT NEWS
Athletic Updates - Week AheadWe are coming to the halfway point of Baseball and Softball. Both teams are looking for a strong showing this weekend against Springfield. Next week both teams play Ashland and they will be leaving early on
Tuesday. Tennis is continuing to swing it. This is an exciting week in girls tennis. We get to celebrate our seniors tennis players at their Senior Night on
Thursday against Thurston. We had over 15 track athletes qualify for the Oregon Relays at Hayward Field
today and

calendar for all the details!
P/NP DeadlineAs a reminder, per GRACC policy students and parents can requests a P/NP grading scale in your course up to two weeks after midterm grading. This gives us a deadline of
April 26th to get the forms turned in and plans laid for students. This is often an important support for a student that may show signs of struggling at the halfway point in their courses.
Agreement on a Pass/No Pass grading option must be agreed upon by student and
teacher. A teacher or counselor must submit the Pass/No pass approval form no later
than two weeks post quarter grading day.
Courses with a P/NP grade do not have an impact on the GPA and they are not weighted.
Students and Parents need to discuss the impact of a P/NP on a transcript with a teacher
or counselor. There can be impacts of choosing this grading option on post-secondary
education options. Once a P/NP grading option is agreed upon, that decision is final.
The process for a P/NP should be done in writing (an email will suffice) with the parent/care giver of the student. The P/NP form must be submitted to the counseling office and include a copy for the grade level administrator.
