Master Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We ran our first draft master schedule through Synergy on Thursday. Our success rate of students with complete schedules was 72%. We are aiming for a 93+% completion rate before finalizing it and then hand-scheduling students with holes in their schedules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were very happy that we were able to satisfy most all teacher\/content team requests with the first draft but discovered some conflicts that prevented students from successfully loading; therefore, we are re-doing the master schedule for draft #2 in order to achieve a higher success rate. We know that some teacher requests will not be possible in draft 2 and beyond. Our goal is to hit the 93+% during Synergy runs this upcoming week and present a near-final copy of it in next week’s blog. Fingers crossed that we can do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Passing\/No Grade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Thank you logging preliminary grades into our tracking document. This is for internal use only<\/strong> so that our support team has a better understanding of student progress up until this point in time. We will leave the document open through mid-day Sunday and then lock it down to prevent more changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some teachers had requested a grading option of a “n\/a” for quarterly classes where teachers have never met their students face-to-face. A “n\/a” was not offered as an option by the Department of Education so it is not something that we can do as a school at this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to the increase use of our district mailing service items are taking longer to get mailed out to folks. Our Educator Appreciation gift and cards are impacted. Please know that when you receive your card the voucher date that is printed has been extended, so please know that the voucher (see below) is still valid. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n PBIS: <\/strong>Our latest distance learning student recognition video has been (or will be soon) posted to the HDMS student google classroom<\/a>.
