SEMESTER 1 GRADING TIMELINE (2020-2021) |
|
| Fri., Jan. 22 | End of First Semester
Grades are not due on 1/22, however, we are asking that you pay close attention to your potential failures. If you have a student who is close to or below a 60%, please make grading their assessment a priority. Whenever possible, please fill out the failure notification form before leaving school on Friday 1/22. Counselors will need to use the January 25th workday to adjust schedules due to failures or write/send grade contracts. Counselors cannot complete their work until teachers have provided an accurate list of failures.

Noon Deadline |
FAILURE AND INCOMPLETE NOTICES SUBMITTED TO COUNSELORS VIA GOOGLE FORMS**
Due to the timing of the end of the semester this year and the schedule for SIP/Work Day, the deadline for failure and incomplete notices is noon on Monday, January 25th. Final grades for non-failures are not due until Thursday, January 28th. As soon as you know that a student cannot pass your class for the semester and you will be entering an F for the semester on their report card, please fill out the google form below. This will assist counselors in working as efficiently as possible to make any necessary schedule adjustments due to failures during the first few days of second semester, which begins Tuesday, January 26th. Please be aware that there may be more movement than usual at the beginning of second semester. *A student can not fail if they are not reported on the Google Form* Link to google form for Failure Notice: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkM4QDBMSwrjMas1u_IsEHoSV6aueOPtGQQgeIE11a8tna6A/viewform?usp=sf_link Link to google form for Notice of Incomplete: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoVRqyhKmAyUe3dg26stKXTVG2ZXsNFSi6trYldIBQZnDFIA/viewform?usp=sf_link |

**Additional Information:
Failure Notice: As you finalize grades, please be sure to submit a failure notice for each student that you know will fail your course for the semester. You must submit a separate google form for every student for whom you will be issuing a report card grade of “F.” You do not need to submit the google “failure notice” form if a student will pass your course for the semester. Teachers are required to contact a parent or guardian if a student is failing their course. Please document this contact on the form, as well. The failure notice can be accessed at the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkM4QDBMSwrjMas1u_IsEHoSV6aueOPtGQQgeIE11a8tna6A/viewform?usp=sf_link
Incomplete Notice: The “Incomplete Notice” is used to inform the counselor that you will be entering an incomplete (“I”) in TeacherVue due to extenuating circumstances (Ex: extended absences for medical reasons, missed final exam). You must submit a separate google “Notice of Incomplete” form for every student that is receiving an incomplete in your course. Teachers are required to contact a parent or guardian if a student is receiving an incomplete. Please document this contact on the form, as well. Once the incomplete is resolved, please complete a grade change form with Alyx Collins in the main office. The notice of incomplete can be accessed at the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoVRqyhKmAyUe3dg26stKXTVG2ZXsNFSi6trYldIBQZnDFIA/viewform?usp=sf_link
Please reach out to Ryan VanKampen if you need any clarification or wish to discuss an extenuating circumstance.
