Grades in Skyward
It is IMPERATIVE that you are checking your child's submission of assignments and grades. We know it can be overwhelming, and we have scaled down the curriculum to ensure our students are getting the essential, most important skills for mastery.
- Grades for the 6th Grading Period Progress Report ended on Friday, May 1.
- Progress Report Grades for the 6th grading period were posted in Skyward on Thursday, May 7.
- We have A LOT of students not turning in work which will result in your child having ZEROS and possibly failing for the grading period! PLEASE ensure that your child is completing and submitting all assignments!
Contact your child's teacher(s) if you have questions or concerns about your child's grades.
Online Learning "the Husky Way" will continue for the remainder of the school year!
Thank you parents for continuing to monitor your child's progress!
Here are some things to remember as as we close out the school year doing Virtual Learning:
- Please make sure you are looking at assignments posted and due in Canvas and NOT just the "To Do List!" Lessons have to be completed AND submitted to be graded.
- Continue to Check Skyward for missing assignments that still need to be submitted.
- Students are held accountable for the work they are given for each subject.
- Make sure your students hit SUBMIT when they complete an assignment to be graded!
- Please make sure that students are receiving correspondence and weekly lesson plans and are communicating with the teachers for questions, etc. The teachers will be communicating with their students, so it is imperative that you be checking your email from the teachers as well.
- We have A LOT of students not turning in work which will result in your child having ZEROS and possibly failing for the grading period! PLEASE ensure that your child is completing and submitting all assignments!
Please contact your child’s teachers if you have questions. This is a very fluid situation that changes daily , but we will work through this TOGETHER!
