Grade Expunge Request Form
Any student who is unhappy with the grade that they have earned in a high school credit class may want to consider expunging this grade from their transcript. Keep in mind that opting to expunge a grade may result in needing to retake this course, as this process removes the course from their transcript/academic history entirely. Please see the form below for more specifics.
HS credit classes include; Algebra, Geometry, Earth Science, World Geography, Spanish/French I Pt. II and II, Nutrition and Wellness, Video and Media Technology, Technology Foundations, Movement and Dance, MJROTC and Agriscience.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Ms. Powell or Ms. Blackley.

Reading Program with Goochland Restaurant
We're excited to share a wonderful reading incentive program sponsored by Goochland Restaurant!
Students can earn free rewards by reading and tracking their progress. Here's how it works: Students will receive a bookmark to log their reading. After completing 8 books, they can bring their bookmark to Goochland Restaurant and choose a reward: a free drink plus either fries, onion rings, or a cookie. The best part? Students can complete multiple bookmarks and earn multiple rewards (see Mrs. Dewey in the LC for additional bookmarks)
We hope this program encourages and celebrates our students' reading achievements.
