DESCRIPTION: (From Dr. Mensa) For the past few weeks we have been working in the Design Team to develop a clear plan for how we will approach grading for the 3rd and 4th Term in the online learning environment. It was extremely important to consider all options for finalizing Term 3 as those decisions have an impact on the plans for Term 4 grading. We shared plans for Term 3 and 4 with the Board and will continue to inform you in detail during a Townhall meeting. Currently, we are prepared to share the timeline for Term 3 verification which many of you have started already. Please review the timeline.
