CCP and Students in an Online Course
If your student is enrolled in a CCP class, or an online high school class, they will not have a grade on their report card for the third marking period. These grades are only reported at the end of the semester.
If your student is also an athlete, and taking one of these classes, the grade they have in their CCP or online class on March 24 will be used to determine eligibility for the fourth marking period.
Scheduling for 2023/2024 School Year
Counselors were in English classes the week of March 6th for students to request their classes online. If your student does not have an English class counselors called them down separately to schedule.
Please review the shared graduation plan on google drive for your student(s) that Mrs. Joyce or Mrs. Arrington shared with you last year. Please reach out to them if you have any questions.
As a reminder for athletic eligibility, in order to be eligible to participate in any interscholastic extracurricular activities, students in grades 7-12 must receive a passing grade in a minimum of five (5) one credit courses, or the equivalent, which counts toward graduation (Physical Education does not count).

Stark State and Kent State started online classes on January 17th. If your student is taking an online CCP class, make sure that your student checks their blackboard and/or flashline account to make sure the course is listed on their course list. If the course is not listed in blackboard and/or flashline, they are not registered for the course. The process for signing up for an online CCP course (through the college) is as follows:
Meet with Mr. Trenger to discuss what course would like to be taken online
Mr. Trenger will fill out an enrollment form for the student to send in to Ryan Palmer at Stark State
The student MUST email the form to Ryan Palmer at Stark State otherwise they are not enrolled.
Mr. Trenger is at Marlington every Thursday and has been accepting scheduling appointments all year to help students get registered for courses
