Grade Changes in Accelerate Education
Please read everything below for further clarity:
What has changed for my student?
If your student is on pace and has no late assignments, your student’s grades should not change.
If your student is behind and has late assignments, those missing assignments will NO LONGER be assigned a zero (temporarily). The grade in each class will NOT reflect the missing assignments and will be higher. You will see a JUMP in your grade.
What to do if:
My student’s grade did not change - Great! Keep up the good work and stay on pace!
My student’s grade went UP - check progress and see how many missing assignments your student has. Work on completing those assignments and lessons. Reach out to teachers for help if needed.
**After the courses are complete OR the time for the course ends, the zeros will then be entered to accurately reflect the student’s final grade.**
Attendance Requirements
Students MUST login each school day and submit work. If your child is sick and cannot logon, please email Mrs. Shumate so she can excuse them. shumates@casdschools.org
The Coatesville Cyber Academy follows all of the same attendance and truancy policies as the other buildings in the district.
Want to avoid truancy? Login and submit every school day!
