CPS Middle School Academic Plan for the Remainder of the Spring Semester 2020
- Learning opportunities will be provided for all students through the end of the school year and will include teacher interaction and feedback.
- Learning will be standardized by course/subject area.
- Each subject area will be assigned a day of the week for instruction and related mass communications.
- Teachers will continue to hold regular office hours for students.
- No letter grades will be reported for Spring Semester 2020. Student performance in a course will be reported using a mark of P (pass) or IC (incomplete).
- Determinations for P or IC will be made based on the Interim Progress Report (IPR) reported March 10, 2020. An IPR score of 60% or higher is a P, otherwise, an IC. Neither mark will have any effect on a student’s GPA.
- If a student has not passed the course prior to April 1, 2020, the student has the remainder of the semester to reach a status of passing, with the support of the teacher and school.
