What is GPA?
It is often difficult to determine how well students did overall by just looking at a series of grades.  Hence, all grades are converted and averaged to one numeric figure called GPA.
Grade Point Average (GPA)  = a numeric score used to evaluate a student's overall academic performance. 
Unweighted GPA:  All Junior High courses are calculated on a 4.00 scale as shown below:
GRADE

F 0
 
 
On PUSD Transcript:
Term GPA /Semester GPA = GPA for a given semester

Youtube Video: "Zero Impact"
Students often stated that when they don't finish an assignment, they won't turn it in.  This results in "zero impact".  After watching this video, you will realize that it is better to turn in unfinished work for partial points/credits than to earn a zero.  Click on the video below to view:

Note: The video is fast-paced.  You can pause or view it several times if necessary.
