Many of the parents had never met each other andor the principal, but Jarman said he thinks they have gelled into a cohesive group and come up with what they think are improvements to the way school policy has been set up. The committee spent their first few meetings airing feelings and opinions and recently came up with some viable answers to issues discussed. One of those answers is called the "Determination of Class Standing." It states that class standing or designation of student status will be determined by the number of credits earned rather than total school years or seat time. A student will be considered a freshman, (ninth grade), with 0 to 5 credits. A sophomore, (tenth grade), would have 6 to 11 credits. A junior, (eleventh grade) would have 12 to 17 credits. A senior, (twelfth grade), would have 18 to 24 credits. According to a draft proposed ' ' by the North Sanpete High School Improvement Council, honors and privileges designated by grade will be determined by class standing: credits earned.
