PLEASE be aware that any staff member should not attend school if they are symptomatic and/or pending a test result. This includes those that report feeling better prior to test results being received. Given the staffing issues, I appreciate that having to take a day (or two) while awaiting results feels odd but it is necessary to avoid unintended exposures.

Report Card "grades"

• Please mark Math skills as beginning, developing or secure.
• For Science, mark only the science and engineering practices.
• For Social Studies, there are no particular skills to mark. You are welcome, however, to share that we are implementing new curricular materials this year.
• Please mark ELA components as beginning, developing or secure.

Comments (from an email sent this past Wednesday)

Here are few questions you might ask yourself when decided whether or not a report card comment is needed (with or without a conference):

• Do I have concerns for this student in a specific academic area(s)?
• Do I have concerns for this student in regards to behaviors (social/emotional)?
• Have I been providing additional support/intervention to this student based on or either academic or behavioral concerns?

*If you answered yes to any of these questions...and you have already been in communication via email, phone or meetings: you might consider stating something like this "as we have discuss previously, Kristin continues to struggle with ____________ class and this impacts her overall progress as a ____________"

*If you have concerns and have not been in communication, it should be documented in the comment.

Additionally, consider these questions:

• Do I ""share" students (a.k.a. switch)?
• If yes, do I have concerns about a student’s progress/performance (from another class) in my content area?

*If you answered yes to both...and you have already been in communication via email, phone or meetings: you might consider stating something similar to the suggestion above "as we have discuss previously, Kristin continues to struggle with her basic facts and this impact her overall math performance."

*If you have concerns and have not been in communication, it should be documented in the comment.

One final consideration:

• Is this student performing at grade level expectations, showing responsibility as a learner and an overall a pleasure to have in class?

*If yes, no comment is necessary as you will celebrate their amazing-ness at conferences!

Family Access is OPEN! You should be able to check in on how the sign up is going (who is schedule when?)

As you know, conferences can be delivered in the setting you feel is best suited to meet the needs of your students, families, and yourselves. Should you choose to be off site, the expectation is you will be in a distraction free setting with a professional background. You may use the Walled Lake Zoom background attached, if you choose. -N.
