How
to Become a Star Student
Becoming a West End Star Student is
not easy. The requirements are
exact and every individual must do
what it takes - no exceptions.
To be a star student, parents or
guardians must turn in a copy of that
student's most recent progress report
or report card to Bro. David Bishop,
or any youth planning team member.
There must be no grades below a "B"
level in every course, and the
grades for conduct must indicate "E"
or "S" in every category for two
consecutive reporting periods. We ask that
parents review each report card and
progress report carefully before
submitting it. Additionally,
the student must
regularly attend Bible School
and the must participate in
class and exhibit superior conduct.
Turn in your report cards to David Bishop to be recognized as a West
End Star Student or Rising Star. Star Students are those with all
A's and B's on report cards or progress reports. Rising Stars are
those that have shown an improvement in grades from a previous
report card or progress report.
Star Student Recognitions – The following West End Youth will
be recognized as Star Students and Rising Stars during our Youth
Gospel Meeting: Taja Smith, Lauren Rausaw, Madeline Livingston,
T’ara Tripp, Larisa Bishop, Joy Mitchell, Blake Mitchell, and John
McCarthy, Jr.
