Russian Class Update
April 13, Tuesday - parents and school coordinators update.
WHAT IS GOING ON IN RUSSIAN CLASS
Spring Break.
All students should be back from the Spring break.
NC Virtual does not have Spring break, however, we accommodate any extensions student may need because of the Spring break. If your student was away on the vocation he/she is still responsible for the work they missed in class. They will not be punished for the late submissions. I have sent reminders for all students about missing work. "Zeros" go in automatically, but I will remove them when students turn in work.
I am sending progress grades to schools every two weeks. I DO NOT have access your PowerSchool. Your school most likely does not post Russian grade there. If you haven't gotten any updates about your student standing in this class, you can simply ask your student to log in to class and look at the Grades. I grade daily, so you will be able to see the most updated picture.
I have emailed individually all schools and parents if your student is failing. If you can not locate your student grade please email me and will send it to you.
End of Class
The last day of this class is May 18. Students who need to graduate, can finish early. I have opened the rest of our modules and Final project. We do not have Final exam, We have final project. All students, regardless of the overall grade, have to complete the Final project.
Conversation sessions.
- Students are required to attend conversation sessions until they successfully turn in the Final project. Their language coach will review for the Final.
- I understand that sometimes student has to miss the speaking session. I would like a parent or school representative to confirm via email or phone that student had to miss the speaking session.
NOTE: students can also join Speaking session, via the phone if they can not join via computer. I can not excuse students totally from conversation sessions, they are required part of all Critical languages classes at NCVPS (Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin).
Below are our options for attending conversation sessions:
- Plan A - join via computer
- Plan B - join via phone
- Have time conflict - Plan C - attend make up session. Find out from coach when they are offered.
- Have time conflict - Plan D - Attend other coach's session.
How your course grade is calculated?
All NCVPS classes calculate weighted grade:
- Course work - 80%
- Final project - 20%
