As of March 31st, 2020 all Greene County Public Schools and Central Office are closed to the public. This is for the safety of our employees and our community. However, if you need to speak with a member of our school staff please call your child's school between the hours of 8AM - 4PM for assistance. The majority of matters can be handled over the phone; however, if something requires an in person meeting our school staff will work with you to set up an appointment. Please keep in mind that all staff members and visitors to our campus must abide by the social distancing guidelines of no more than 10 individuals in a location, with each being 6 feet apart.

Schools will not be open during Spring Break and you should not expect communication from your child's teachers this week. Your child is certainly welcome to continue to engage in the learning activities that have been provided. New Instruction will begin on April 13th.

To retrieve student belongings from school, please contact your child's school to set an appointment for picking up student belongings. For medication, please contact your child's school and school staff will coordinate a time and date to pick up medication.

1. The student's final grades will be calculated by averaging Q1, Q2, and Q3. S1 will stay the same and S2 will be the same as Q3 if needed for semester courses. A student's Q3 grade can only go up from where it was prior to the closure, it may not go down.

2. Students must be provided the opportunity for the new learning activity to count as extra credit each week. Each required weekly learning activity must count for no less than a 2% increase on the Q3 grade. Teachers may offer more extra credit for the optional learning activities, but at a minimum students must have the opportunity to earn a 2% point bump each week. This would be a minimum of the opportunity to earn 12% points for the remainder of the year to be applied to Q3.

Example:

The student had a 85% in Q1, 87% in Q2, and 76% for Q3 as of March 13th. If they do none of the continuity of learning activities, they would have a 82.67% for the year. If they did 5 of the 6 learning activities their grade for Q3 would become an 86% (5 activities x 2 points). This would make their final grade a 86% for the year (Average of 85%, 87%, and 86%). Reminder, students can go also improve their grade by completing make up work from Q3 with no penalty.

In most cases, students will move up to the next grade level. If grade retention is being considered for a student in the elementary or middle school level, it would have already been discussed with the parent prior to the March 13th closure. School Administration will initiate a phone call to any parent of a child that this may still be the case. For high school students, grade level is still determined by the number of credits a student has earned. It is imperative that students engage with these learning activities through the extended closure.

Teachers will be tracking completion of the educational activities over the next 6 weeks.

Students who are not able to complete the assignments virtually or in paper form, may be asked to complete assignments at a later time to be determined. This could be when school resumes in the Fall of 2020, Summer School of 2020, or throughout the 2020 - 2021 school year.

Seniors not passing courses required for graduation, must complete coursework to improve their grade in Q3 and must have a passing grade for the year to receive credit for that course and meet graduation requirements.
