• There no longer are Q 3 and Q 4 grading periods. There is one "expanded Q 3 marking period," which is also called Semester 2 (S 2). This is a State Department of Education decision. Students' final averages for the year will now be based upon their previously earned Semester 1 average while still in school, and their Semester 2 average, a large part of which occurred while out of school.

• The Q 3 grade report that parents will receive at the end of this week is now being called the Q 3 interim progress report. If you are on Parent Portal, you can access the report. If we have your correct email in our computer data base, you will also receive the report that way. For families with neither of these forms of communication, the interim report card will be mailed.

• The grades for the second half of this marking period will be from March 16, the first day students were out of school, to the end of the year.

• There are no final exams.

• Teachers have created assingments in Google Classroom for students to submit completed assignments from the instructional materials binder.

• Students will now have no more than 2 graded assignments per week for each class.

• Middle school students should spend 3-4 hours per day on instruction.

A Family Support Line has been established to provide a resource for students or parents that need additional support during this extended schools closure. This hotline is not to replace school based interventions and supports, our main goal is to assist families in connecting to resources which could be school counselors, parent advocates, DMH services, social workers, etc.

CCSD employees from the Departments of Alternative Programs, Counseling Services, and Intervention & Psychological Services will answer calls Monday – Friday from 9:00 am – 6:00 pm. The Family Support Hotline number is 843-937-7907.
