Announcements for Parents
Dear Parents/Guardians of a Springboro Junior High School student:
RE: Pass/Fail Grading Information for 4th Quarter
I have an important message to share regarding students'
fourth quarter grades
for the 2019-20 school year.
Since Friday, March 20, students have been engaged in at-home learning for the entire duration of the 4th quarter.
While Springboro teachers have successfully met the challenge in delivering engaging lessons with new content during at-home learning, the district also recognizes that, per the Ohio Department of Education’s Remote Learning Resource Guide, “
all families do not have the same resources to support their children through the pandemic. Many are dealing with job loss, food insecurity, increased health concerns and other stressors that will affect students’ abilities to learn at home. Families also might be challenged with adults working from home while trying to support students’ remote learning needs at home.
”
Due to this inequality in educational support within an at-home learning setting,
Springboro Schools will be using a Pass/Fail grading system in the 4th quarter for grades 2-12.

After your review of this information, please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jon Franks, Principal
Springboro Junior High School
