Assistant Principals' Corner
Only teachers of students in grades 3-5 received an email from Karen Hynnenin titled YTD Grade averages. The email contains an excel document. Please open this document and verify the information.
"Blanks" are okay if we have a valid reason:
- student transferred to PS later in the year
- student not present long enough during quarter to receive a grade
- student had a schedule change per an IEP change
If you see "duplicates," it's likely because the student's schedule changed from one teacher to another or transferred from another MCS during the year.
Ashley need's your help (several of you have already sent communication) in order to resolve the issues.
- the names of students with issues (blanks, duplicates)
- reasons for blanks, duplicates
This work serves the purpose of preparing for report cards and End of Year Final grades.
Email Ashley with additional questions.
No PLCs the next two weeks
