Seal of Biliteracy
Year 4 and AP World Language students have an option to take a nationally normed assessment to obtain a Seal
of Biliteracy on their diploma. The cost will be the responsibility of the student (range from $10 Latin to $20 all
other languages).

*Note: At least half of a student’s Earned Credit must be “graded” (letter grade vs. S/U) for that student to be considered
for any GPA associated awards or recognition of the graduating class (i.e.: Top 10%, Cum Laude, etc.)

SUNGARD HOME ACCESS CENTER (HAC: ONLINE GRADEBOOK)

Students and parents are encouraged to access the SunGard Home Access Center through the high school website at
www.hudson.k12.oh.us to follow academic progress as well as attendance. Please remember that there are expected
delays between the completion of student assessments and the grading/posting of those marks.

PROMOTION BY CREDIT EARNED

In order to be promoted to the next grade level, the student should have earned the following:
To Grade 10: a minimum of 5 credits
To Grade 11: a minimum of 10 ½ credits
To Grade 12: a minimum of 16 credits

These guidelines should be viewed as a minimum. Usually a student will have earned more credits than are needed for
promotion.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION AND COMMENCEMENT

The State of Ohio and the Hudson City Schools Board of Education have prescribed minimum requirements for a diploma.
Students not meeting the minimum course requirements will NOT be permitted to participate in commencement
exercises. This includes meeting the requirements included in one of the three accepted pathways to a diploma as
determined by the Ohio Department of Education.

CREDIT FLEX OPTION

Ohio’s plan for credit flexibility is designed to broaden the scope of curricular options available to student, increase the
depth of study possible for a particular subject, and allow tailoring of learning time and/or conditions. These are ways
in which aspects of learning can be customized around more of the students’ interests and needs.

ARE YOU READY FOR A CREDIT FLEXIBILITY OPPORTUNITY?
A credit flex opportunity at Hudson High School is a student owned learning opportunity that:

 Provides more choice and autonomy in deciding how, when and where students learn.
 Provides more options for individually suited pathways to post-secondary and career goals.
 Provides acceleration and convenience including more options for courses in the school schedule (especially for

fitting in electives)
Students may earn credit through ONE of the following:

1. Demonstration of Mastery
2. Enrichment through Experience or Performance
Students who can answer in the affirmative to the following questions are ready for a credit flex course:
Students understand that:
 I will follow the rules of Hudson City Schools and the school code of conduct while working on this credit flex

opportunity.
 I understand that Hudson City Schools cannot offer hardware or software support for my personal computer.
 I am the only one responsible for my own learning.
 I am able to manage my study time effectively and easily complete assignments on time.
