Grading during Remote Learning
Teachers will continue to provide feedback to students on their work and grades will now be documented as Pass or Incomplete. Teachers will be updating Schoology so that grades shown will be a P for Pass or an I for Incomplete. Comments may also be given as feedback to students next to the grade. Look specifically for a "missing" comment with the letter "I" to indicate that the assignment was not turned in.
Incomplete will be used for students that do not submit an assignment, or only show minimal detail or effort.

Zoom Guidance for Students and Parents
Millburn is taking steps on our end within the settings of Zoom to help make these live meetings as safe and secure for students as possible. Student behavior during live sessions should match that of a typical classroom.
****Allowing students to use the Zoom platform is a privilege and is safe for students to use if they follow the rules. However, Zoom can be used by students in unhealthy ways. Parents must be aware that students can initiate a Zoom conference through their iPad with any other student on our network, or anyone else if they invite from the outside. We don't yet have the ability to limit this option. Please monitor any Zoom conferences that your children participate in, and we strongly recommend keeping iPads out of students' bedrooms overnight.
Millburn is going to turn the Zoom App off at 5pm each night and back on at 8am.
Parents might consider to have students in the room with them anytime they are using Zoom.

School Event Planning
Fine Arts Performances, Graduation, NJHS Induction, etc, are all events that I am thinking through and plan to have a way to execute in some fashion.
Also, I am in regular communication with EPIC on the events that they have been planning. Specifically the 8th Grade Farewell Celebration. It is likely that we will have to find another date for this event.
More will be communicated in future newsletters.
Happy Birthday
