También estoy casi adivinando, pero tal vez lo siguiente te sirva:
Me da la impresión de que "academic blocks" podría referirse a los créditos mínimos que deben aprobar de los bloques principales (en algunos colegios estos bloques son matemáticas, historia, inglés y ciencias) para graduarse.
http://www.madison.k12.wi.us/policies/3540.htm
WA student will have earned a minimum of twenty-two (22) credits as one criterion for graduation from a Madison high school unless a Madison high school has implemented a program that has a four-block schedule. If a Madison high school has implemented a four-block schedule, a student who is enrolled in such a school for at least three consecutive school years shall be required to have a minimum of 26 credits as one criterion for graduation and a student who is enrolled in such program for at least two consecutive school years shall be required to have a minimum of 24 credits as one criterion for graduation. "
Los "pins" me parece que podrían referirse a insignias/piochas/broches entregados en premio a los logros académicos.(http://www.bale.com/pins/academic.html)

Olvidé decir: Si los ítems que citas se explican en más detalle en otra sección del manual (lo cual me parecería lógico, pues dudo que ser "valedictorian" sea un requisito de graduación), me parece que podría tratarse de lo señalado
I wonder if this simply means that those applying for graduation need to present accreditation of having completed all the academic exercises leading to such qualification? I haven't seen any metaphoric use of this term but maybe it refers to all the mandatory academic "ins and outs" that lead to graduation. Very low confidence here!
Good luck!

¡Muchas gracias, Andrea!
Notes to answerer
Asker: Creo que tienes toda la razón, Andrea. Te contaré si encuentro la explicación. Esto no es una tabla de contenido, sino una pequeña reseña.
¡Gracias!
Asker: Son bloques académicos (como los describes) y "distintivos". La aclaración vino de mi hija, que estudió en un colegio bilingüe. Yo no recordaba lo de los pins.
¡Gracias, Andrea!
