Important Information
Grading Update- As you have seen from earlier this week a communication from PYLUSD and Dr. Plahy came out about grades will be credit / incomplete for the 4th quarter. With this being said I would like you to know that our teachers will be maintaining their grade books so students and parents can see the quality of the work being done in each class. We feel this is important that students still receive feedback for the work they are completing. As stated in the letter we understand that remote learning can be difficult for both parents and students and based upon the research the district has done the credit / incomplete grading does the least harm for students. You may see different markings such as NA or TX. The NA mark on an assignment means that the assignment is not counted in the overall grade and does not need to be made up. The TX (Temporary Exemption) does not count towards the overall grade up will put a reb box and indicated that the assignment is missing and needs to be completed. If a student has a TX then that would be work that needs to be completed once the student is able. We feel the work being assigned by our teachers is valuable towards your student's overall growth and will only benefit them moving forward in their education.
Yearbook Sales- If you did not purchase your Yearbook you can still purchase it for $50.
