eLearning has created an opportunity for administration and teaching staff to create innovative opportunities for students to learn content and skills from home. LCS staff has developed a blended approach that keeps learning at a focus with the understanding of a new reality from working and learning from home. Distance learning has challenged the way of traditional grading where many learning opportunities cannot be graded under a traditional model. The district began assigning eLearning assignments on Wednesday, March 25th. To support students in the transition to eLearning, any grades assigned between March 25th and April 3rd will be assigned a Pass (100%) or the grade will be exempted. This means grades assigned during this two-week transition can only help a student’s grade. Beginning April 6, grades have been assigned with current district grading practices. Our goal is to continue to provide students and families with meaningful feedback in the areas of learning grade-level content and skills as well as student engagement.
Grades K-2 Grading |
4th quarter grades will be reflective of coursework completed during eLearning in Progressbook. Comments will be provided specifically to student learning and student engagement during eLearning timeframe in Progressbook. Teachers have flexibility and discretion to provide feedback with S (satisfactory), P (progressing), N (needs improvement), and U (unwilling/unable) based on evidence collected during the 4th quarter. We feel it is important that student effort and engagement is reinforced. If a student has not attempted coursework, the teacher and administrators WILL work with the student and family to put supports in place. Parents and students should regularly check Progressbook, Google Classroom, and email messages regarding student coursework and grades. Grade cards will be reflective of current grading practices used throughout the school year, along with a “do no harm” philosophy.
