Please note that the district utilizes a monitoring system called Gaggle to screen student communications and files. This includes emails that are sent/received to school email addresses, chats in Microsoft Teams and files stored in OneDrive. The purpose of doing so is to help ensure a safer digital learning environment for each and every student, and to prevent violence and self-harm. As such, any student communication and/or file that discusses substance use, self-harm, threats, violence, obscenities, or words/phrases associated with harassment will be flagged for follow up. Please discuss this with your student(s), as we will be communicating this to them. |

GRADING PRACTICES FOR 2021-2022 |
|
Changes to grades for the previous school year (2020-21), that were put into place in January of 2021, prioritized compassion for students and social, emotional, and mental health due to the impact of remote learning were for the 2020-21 year and will NOT continue for the 2021-22 school year. Specifically:
- Reporting NC (credit courses) and NE (non-credit courses) instead of F grades
- Reporting D grades as P grades
- Student/family option to report a P instead of a C or B grade
Teachers will continue to use grading practices that support students and provide flexibility to demonstrate learning and understanding of standards. Examples include the four evidence-based practices below that were implemented last school year and designed to result in grades that are more reflective of student learning. The implementation of these practices will continue for the 2021-22 school year:
- Classroom assessment is aligned to standards
- Students are provided with multiple opportunities to demonstrate learning
- Students can re-take and/or re-do summative assessments
Late work used to assess student learning is fully recognized to demonstrate proficiency
