Important Information
Grades – This week we will be looking at Grade Guardian data (by grade band and by teacher), please have your grades updated (and in sync with Synergy) by the end of the day Monday, May 3rd. Timely grading=timely data 😊
Proficiency Day (May 4th)
Our goal for this day is for students who struggled academically during CDL, need to regain credit, or who are currently not on track to graduate to have a day to connect with their teachers. This day will be an incredible opportunity for these students to have smaller class sizes, get individualized support, develop a plan, and connect with teachers they had during Semester 1.
Students will move thru their Semester 1 schedule (all class periods 1 – 7) where they will get more individualized lessons to highlight missed content, be given direct instruction, or have an opportunity to discuss assignments they need to complete for credit recovery. Our hope is that students who received an NG in Semester 1 will leave the day with proficiency in that subject area, which may translate to an earned credit, and allow the student to get back on track academically.
Students who received an NG in one or more classes, who are not on track to graduate, or who received an email about Credit Recovery are required to join us on this day. Students will be able to ride a bus or be dropped off and be provided lunch. Students will go thru their Semester 1 schedule where teachers will give instruction, directions, or develop a plan to move the student to academic proficiency and credit recovery. As well, students will have quiet, working environments with access to technology and resources to complete these tasks.
Students who are on track to graduate and/or have not received a NG in Semester 1, are EXCUSED to stay home for the day. There will be no NEW content being taught on May 4th. If students who are on track choose to attend school on May 4th, they will be provided a space for general study hall.
Supervision
Here is the supervision schedule for this week. If you need to make any changes to your supervision assignment day/time, please see Kathy Russell.
** It’s important that we have supervision areas covered each day now that we have all our students back.
