Phase 3 Instructional Packets and Final Report Card Updates
Final grades for grades K-5 will be different this year due to our closure. Students will receive no final grade. Teachers will provide year-end feedback in PowerSchool Parent Portal. Teachers will document academic and social/emotional strengths and needs to ensure an effective transition from 2020 remote learning to the 2020-21 school year.
Our teachers will continue to reach out to your children. Our priority is to support our students and help them succeed in this difficult time.
