This also means that it is essential that students (and parents) should by now have access to assignment completion and assignment grading data in StudentVue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a pretty comprehensive &#8220;drive thru&#8221; of our gradebooks, it appears that most of you are solidly on your way with standards, connected assignments\/assessments, score data and missing assignment data looking pretty complete. There are a few of you who have either been impacted by the SYnergy gradebook My Objectives issue or you have been waiting to input grades &#8220;just in case&#8221; the fix causes an disruption. However I believe that Zach and I have checked in with each of those individuals and we have solutions for you to move fwd ASAP..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SO&#8230;. Please make sure your gradebooks are getting updated (<strong><em>including<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>Crew<\/em><\/strong> at the high school!) asap and that you are directing students (and families where appropriate) to their scores on standards and any missing assignments during class and\/or during crew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Midterm Progress Reports should go out on Friday October 27th, or that weekend if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-background\" style=\"background-color:#38daf3c7\">CALLING ALL PHOTOS!!!!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You all are doing awesome things with kiddos, INSIDE and OUTSIDE the classroom.
