Grading
Grading during remote learning is focused on student engagement in activities, completion of work and growth. Grading during remote learning takes into account the changes in instructional delivery, student access to resources and the need for flexibility. Students will be expected to complete assignments by the given due dates and will be allowed to redo assignments as necessary to show growth and understanding.
Completion of work during remote learning is REQUIRED. Students may receive credit for work completed that has satisfied the criteria set by the teachers for that assignment. Points for these assignments will be entered into TeacherEase as positive credit.
Grades may be entered as missing or incomplete for any given assignment. Incomplete means that the child attempted the assignment but did not meet the criteria set by the teacher. Missing means that the child made no attempt to complete the assignment. Students may be required to complete missing or incomplete work when face to face instruction resumes.
- May 8th is the deadline for all work to be completed and turned in. You will not be given any new assignments after May 8th. At that point, students who have ALL assignments turned in and marked complete have met the criteria for their grade level. Students may still access learning menu options for practice.
- Students who have missing or incomplete assignments in ANY CLASS will continue with remote learning until May 15th.
- Students K-7th grade who have missing or incomplete assignments AFTER May 15th will be required to complete them when school resumes. Those students will receive an INCOMPLETE on their report cards until work is completed.
- 8th Grade students with missing or incomplete assignments AFTER May 15th will not be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony or in the graduation dance. Final grades will be marked INCOMPLETE and reported to the next school as such.
Special Education and Related Services
Special Education minutes and related services will be maintained to the extent possible during remote learning days. Homeroom teachers will document attendance, however students will need to be in contact with their special education and related service teachers to complete work, receive specialized instruction and therapies. Some variation in minutes is to be expected and in relation to the variation in instructional minutes for all students. If you have concerns about service minutes for your child you may contact the classroom teacher or Ms. Dawson.
IEP and related meeting timelines will be maintained during remote learning days. Parents will be asked to attend meetings using video or phone access. If the parents do not wish to meet remotely, the child’s meeting will be rescheduled when face to face meetings may resume.
