Here are the most important things to know about the new

ICHS grading policy during Remote Learning:

The grading policy outlined below is in effect for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year only. Teachers will base students’ final grades on a holistic review of their progress before and after we started remote learning. Attendance will not be a factor in students’ grades. No student will receive a failing final grade.

Grades are frozen from students’ grades on March 13^th and will be the basis for their final grades.

Any work produced during remote learning can only increase a student’s grade.

The NYC DOE Chancellor has allowed families to turn any passing grade (ME, MA, MT, or MP) into a CR in order to protect their child’s transcript for college application purposes. A family can review their child’s grades to pick and choose which grades get turned into CR. Schools are obligated to comply.

For any questions or concerns, call our school’s Google Voice number 929-322-4471 and request to speak to the principal or assistant principals.

Here is the Updated Grade Scale:

Exceeds Standards

This is similar to the previous grade of "Outstanding." This is a passing grade and the student will receive credit for the class.

Above Standards

This is similar to the previous grade of "Good." This is a passing grade and the student will receive credit for the class.

Meets Standards

This is similar to the previous grade of "Competent." This is a passing grade and the student will receive credit for the class.

Approaches Standards

This is a passing grade and the student will receive credit for the class. This grade is for students who have not reached competency in all outcomes, but who are making progress in the class. This grade is also applicable and whose difficult individual circumstances have been noted, especially taking into account the effects of COVID-19.

Course Still in Progress

This is similar to our previous course extension grade from last year. This indicates that the student has not passed the class and did not receive credit yet. The NX option should be reserved for students who were consistently absent before school closures and continued to be consistently absent after school building closures. Students will not receive credit until a grade of MP or higher is achieved.
