Grades

From April 6 until April 17, feedback on assignments will be given to students, but no grades will be taken.  Teachers may allow students to redo a previous assignment and adjust the student’s grade or allow students to complete missing assignments and adjust student’s grades during this time period.  .  

 

If the school closure is extended beyond April 17, teachers will use current grades for students and their final 4th quarter grade will not be any lower than their current grade for the course.  However teachers will grade current assignments and use these grades in calculation of the 4th quarter grade if by doing so the student’s grade increases. The end result is that assignments/activities cannot harm a student’s grade, but could help them improve a student’s final grade. 

Assignments

Students will receive one assignment/activity per week for each subject/course in which they are enrolled. Teachers will collaborate to create this one assignment/activity so that all teachers in a course or grade are making the same assignment.  For example all first graders within a building will be doing the same assignment or all the English II teachers would make the same assignment or activity.  

  • Elective classes will also provide one weekly assignment/activity per grade level/course.  

  • Grades 7-12

    In grades 7-12, teachers will post their assigned assignments/activities on their teacher webpage. In grades PreK-6, a web page is being constructed that will give parents a quick link to the activities/assignments for the week.  This page will be updated by 11:00 AM on Monday mornings. 

  • Teachers may choose to provide offline assignments especially at the lower grade levels.  These assignments may be uploaded to Google Drive for parents or students to download.

    In instances where students are not able to download the information, parents may arrange to pick up the materials at the schools (curbside pickup) or delivered through our meal distribution method.  

School Office Hours

Teachers are required to have a two hour office hour window daily for students and/or parents to contact them if necessary with questions or for assistance with assignments and activities.  This two hour window will be posted on the District Lesson Plan Page.  

 

Teachers will monitor their email during the time and may choose to be online on Facebook or Twitter.  Teachers may also choose to be available at this time through Google Classroom or ClassDojo. In addition, teachers may call parents who request to have a conversation with a teacher.
