Recognizing Our Scholars

At David W Long, we believe in celebrating the hard work and dedication of our students. Our Honor Roll program recognizes students in Grades 4 and 5 who excel academically.

To be recognized on the Honor Roll, students must meet the following criteria:

Academic Achievement:

  • High Honor Roll: Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.60 - 4.00

  • Honor Roll: Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.00 - 3.59

·         Citizenship: Students must have a Citizenship mark of O or G.

Important Notes:

  • GPA Calculation: GPAs are calculated at the end of each trimester based on official report card grades in:

    • Math

    • Reading

    • Writing

    • Speaking/Listening

    • Language

    • Science/Health

    • History/Social Studies. 

A grade point is assigned to each course (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0).  A plus or minus (+/-) designation is not included in the calculation.  Grade points are then used to calculate a simple average based on the number of courses. GPA is calculated on a 4-point scale and is rounded to the nearest hundredth.

  • Finding Your Child's GPA: Look for "GPA:" within the "Comments" section of your child's report card.

Honor Roll recipients are celebrated with certificates at their Trimester Award Assembly.
