  • SECONDARY UPDATES
  • Middle School Grade Storing
    • As we are approaching the first progress reporting period, site techs met to receive guidance on how to store grades with the modified schedules we are using that places all secondary schools on a “quarter” system. See below for grade reporting charts for MIDDLE SCHOOLS ONLY by model/school:
    • Due to the nature of grade storing for schools using the Quarterly rotations chart, we are also providing talking points that can be shared with staff and parents.

    If an AASD member has a department or individual that deserves special recognition during this time of crisis, please use the link below for reporting issues/questions/concerns/gratitude to show your gratitude for the department or individual.  AASD will publish that special thanks in our next Daily Update.
