Schedule beginning 1.11.21
On Monday, January 11, Kingsley converts to a hybrid or blended school. A hybrid or blended school means that we have the privilege of serving students & families in both a remote and in-person format. We anticipate nearly 280 online students, who will engage with us online exclusively, and approximately 520 in-person students, who will engage with us in-person and remotely.
The at-home learning schedule for January 11 and beyond is nearly identical to the schedule we used during our previous hybrid time. Here is an at-home version of the schedule for 6th grade, 7th grade and 8th grade.
We look forward to the day when we have one schedule all year & all students & staff in the building together. We aren't there yet and appreciate your continued partnership in your child's education.
Academic Growth & Emotional wellness
Academic Growth & Emotional wellness
To say this is an unusual year is an understatement. While student's social emotional wellness is always a priority, it is more of a focus this school year.
To reduce student stress, increase time for rejuvenation, decrease student school work load, & maintain a strong academic program, we are focusing on the most critical course content with students. Teachers are spending more time on fewer topics and if time allows, exploring those topics more deeply.
How can you check academic progress information?
All academic progress information can be viewed in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Directions for accessing academic progress information is included in the video & in a written format in English & Spanish.
There are not hard copy report cards unless you requested that at registration.
In-progress & final grade calculation methods are explained here.
Most grades are in progress through the end of the school year because students are continuing to grow & learn through the end of the school year.
At the end of semester one, the only finalized grades are in exploratory, Honors Geometry & Algebra.
