- LEADERSHIP AND LEARNING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CALENDARS
- LONG-TERM CLOSURE GRADING POLICY
- On May 25th, the Board approved the definition of a long-term school closure and the process for grade validation in revisions to AR 5121.1 Grades/Evaluation of Student Progress During School Closures:
- During long-term school closures, a student who earns a “F” grade in the first semester or quarter of a course may improve the grade to a “D” by earning a passing grade of “D” or better in the second semester or quarter of the same course, with credit then granted for both semesters/quarters. This policy applies only to courses required to meet high school graduation requirements and only for grades issued for the first semester or quarter of a course.
- This revision ONLY applies to high school coursework. This does not impact elementary or middle school coursework since courses are year-long.
- This revision applies to all grading terms for the 2020-21 school year. Site techs and registrars will receive instructions on how to run grade reports for grade validation.
- The approval of the revised policy also enacts the option for emergency school closure graduation waivers for current seniors. Waivers can ONLY be used for the following reasons:
- Courses where students received an NG in Spring 2020 and were unable to make up the course.
- Overall GPA is below a 2.0, but at least a 1.75.
- Counselors will follow the same procedures for emergency school closure waivers as last year.
- For questions, contact Nicole DeWitt.
- EXTRA GROCERY FOOD DISTRIBUTION FOR 5/31-6/4
- Extra grocery items will be available (while supplies last) at our 19 curbside meal locations on a rotating basis.
- Grocery giveaway days range from Food Bank Food Drives, USDA meal boxes, and fresh produce bags.
- Please share this information with your school families: Grocery Item Schedule for Week of 5/31-6/1.
- SUMMER PROGRAMS
- Summer Host Sites Voluntary Office Hours: How to Build Master Schedule Q&A
- Jen Roberson will be hosting voluntary office hours for any site who needs assistance in building the summer school master schedule in PowerSchool.
- The commit process for the Summer master schedule is this Friday through Sunday, 6/4-6/6.
- This means that our Summer master schedules must be built and ready to go by Friday morning.
- Zoom Meeting ID : 85102606115
- Thursday, 6/3: 8:00-9:00 a.m. and 12:00-1:00 p.m.
- Elementary sites ONLY will hand-build from the live side beginning June 7th so there’s no need to build schedules prior to the commit process.
- However, this week, please begin pulling in teachers and office staff and assigning security settings.

- The state has changed the English learner language acquisition program options.
