- The end of the 5th Grading Period was this past Thursday, April 8.
- Report Card Grades for the 5th grading period will post in Skyward on Thursday, April 16.
- 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.
- We realize some of you have multiple people in the house who are sharing devices, and/or you are waiting on a device for your child. The teachers are aware of this, and we will work with your child to get caught up and adjust lessons accordingly.
Contact your child's teacher(s) if you have questions or concerns about your child's grades.
Online Learning "the Husky Way" is Going Strong!
Thank you parents for continuing to monitor your child's progress!
Here are some things to know as we continue on this journey of Virtual Learning:
- 5th Grading Period ended on Thursday, April 8. Your child MUST be submitting their work in order for us to have grades to ensure mastery of what they are learning. Check Skyward for missing assignments that still need to be submitted.
- Students are held accountable for the work they are given for each subject. Grades will be taken, so please make sure you are looking at what the teachers are assigning and that you are checking grades in Skyward.
- Students will have work to complete each week in all 4 core classes, Elective and PE.
- If your child is still having issues getting into his/her class link, you can email Ms. Clayton at jeanneclayton@misdmail.org and she will reset the password for your child each day between 10-12PM.
- I HIGHLY encourage you as a parent to create a Canvas Parent Account that will connect you to your child's Canvas Page (see instructions in newsletter below).
- Teachers can communicate with students via video conferencing using either Canvas or Teams. Teachers will communicate with the students and with you if the TEAMS App needs to be downloaded (there is a link already on their ClassLink page). See below for more information about TEAMS.
- 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.
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!
