Students School Awards Receive Awarded Eslpod Common Academic

In the United States, schools often have "assemblies" (times when all students and teachers come into the same room for announcements, performances, and awards) in which they give awards to students. Here is a list of some of the most common "academic" (related to school, not sports or other activities) awards.

Perfect attendance - Students with "perfect attendance" have attended school every day with no "absences" (times when someone is not at school or work as expected).

Curricular awards - Students who "excel" (perform very well) in a particular "subject area" (one topic of learning) might receive a curricular award such as "excellence in math" or "excellence in English."

Honor roll - Students who perform well in all of their classes and have a high "GPA" (grade point average; a number up to 4.0 that indicates what grades the student has received in all of his or her classes) might be placed "on the honor roll," or a list of the school's top-performing students.

Most improved - Some students perform poorly at the beginning of the year but improve significantly over time. These students might receive a "most improved" award recognizing improvements in their behavior and/or academic performance.

Character awards - Students who have "exhibited" (shown) "traits" (characteristics) that the school "values" (likes and appreciates) might receive "character awards." "Best friend" would be awarded to someone who is kind to others. "Most responsible" would be awarded to someone who does what needs to be done. And "best manners" would be awarded to the student who is most "polite" (using nice words like "please" and "thank you").
