LVMS Staff Newsletter
Excellence In Everything - Coronavirus Edition VII
This Week
Ugh. I'm realizing that this will be my last newsletter of the year. I've never wanted a year to end as badly, but the reality of all the time we've lost with our students is also hanging heavy on my heart. I will just say this - I would not want to go through the struggles of teaching middle school(and it is a HUGE struggle) with any other staff. Thank you for your work through this crisis. I'm blessed to work with each of you.
Enough of that nonsense...
Back to the important stuff like grades, deadlines and meetings...
We will meet as Grade Levels on Monday, May 18th.
2:00 - 6th Grade
2:30 - 7th Grade
3:00 - 8th Grade
You will get the invite for the meeting(s) you need to attend.
Here's the timeline for the end of the year with grades...

Friday, May 22nd - Final Grades(with corrections) due into Gradebook
Here are a few things to remember, just so we can be on the same page.
I - INCOMPLETE (Will translate to a “0” if missing assignments are not submitted prior to May 15th).
P - PASS (100% in semester calculation, in accordance with weighted table)
F - FAIL (69% in semester calculation, in accordance with weighted table)
It is important to note that work will be considered incomplete if the teacher deems there is not a good-faith effort by the student to correctly complete the assigned work.
There will be no final exams for grades 6-12.
For the spring semester of the 2019-2020 school year only, the second semester average in grades 6-12 will be determined using the nine-week averages only:
3rd Nine-Week Average = 50%
4th Nine-Week Average = 50%
Full Staff Meeting
We will have our final, full staff meeting on Wednesday, March 20th at 10:00 AM. Here's the link - meet.google.com/yui-njur-ifj
