During Remote Learning days, CM 201-U will continue to use a traditional grading structure for students in grades 9-12 as follows:
- Third quarter grades will be used as the basis for second semester grades. Our focus is for students to at least maintain that grade. We will refer to this as grade maintenance.
- For students to maintain their current 3rd quarter grades, they must engage in and complete graded learning assignments/assessments. Grades will continue to be based on the grading scale established at the beginning of the semester.
- Students may raise their 3rd quarter grades based on graded assignments and assessments that are completed and submitted. This is important for students who received any grades of “F” for the 3rd quarter.
- Teachers will identify which learning assignments/assessments are graded and which are nongraded. Not all assigned activities will be graded.
- Graded assignments and assessments may be completed and turned in any time during the Remote Learning period.
- Students will not receive a zero for any assignment or assessment that is not completed. An *or No Count will be used in Skyward.
- Students whose grade is below 60% on an assignment or assessment will have the opportunity to review, redo, and resubmit to receive a passing grade.
- Students whose semester grade drops below their current 3rd quarter letter grade, will be given the opportunity to review, revise, and resubmit learning assignments/assessments in order to maintain the 3rd quarter grade.
- Students who struggle to maintain and/or achieve scores of 60% may receive additional support.
- Under this plan, Grade 9-11 students who earn a semester grade below 60% will receive a grade of Incomplete (I). Students will have the opportunity to complete the learning requirements during the summer. If students do not complete learning requirements during the summer, they will not receive credit for the semester. This follows our regular standard for earning course credit.
- High school seniors may not receive an Incomplete (I). Seniors must work to improve an Incomplete to a grade of 60% no later than the last of the school year. The school will monitor student performance and support seniors who may find themselves in this situation.
- Students who do not submit any graded work for Remote Learning will receive an Incomplete.
- Students who are unable to complete the graded assignments or assessments to a level of at least 60% due to extenuating circumstances related to the school closure will receive their 3rd quarter grade. These situations will be reviewed on a case by case basis upon parent request.
