Report Cards

As you know, trimester 3 grades will look a little different this year. Grades for report cards should be entered by June 5 for homeroom teachers and June 8 for specials teachers. You can begin working on them now as you have time. If you have families who have not participated in the remote programming, please reach out to them this week as part of your student contact to let them know that their child will be marked NP, "not participated" based on their current status. Remind them of the ways they can participate so they still have the opportunity to receive a “P.” Students need to have participated for a minimum of 4 weeks to have an overall score of “P” on their report card.

As I mentioned in my 4.27.20 Phone Cast, there are four ways that students can receive participation credit:

    1.   Google Classroom: some teachers are uploading materials from the home learning packets directly into Google Classrooms for students to complete and submit online. If your child’s teacher is using this method, you can choose to submit online OR you may choose to complete the paper packets.

    2.   Live Meeting: some teachers are conducting a live meeting with students through Google Meet. They may ask students to show completed workbook pages during those sessions.

    3.   Pictures: If your child is not participating in the virtual options above, your child’s teacher may ask parents to take some photos and submit them over text or email as evidence of student participation.

    4.   Conversation: Your child’s teacher may ask your child to talk through some of their answers when they are doing a regular phone check in with your child.

NHA informed us that every subject will be shown on the Trimester 3 report card, so teachers will need to put a “P” or “NP” for every subject. Please start inputting “P” or “NP” into gradebook now. There will be one overall grade for the 8 weeks of Remote Learning instruction. If a student participated 4 of the 8 weeks, then they will receive a “P” in every subject.  If a student did not participate in 4 of the 8 weeks, then they will receive a “NP” in every subject.  4^th-8^th grade teachers must communicate through email or a meeting to identify and list the students that will be getting an overall NP. Please make sure to share the list with specials teachers because their grade will be the same as core subjects. We will discuss this further during our staff meeting.
