Today marks the end of mid-term week of our first quarter of classes at EVHS. It is during this week that we take an intentional pause and provide all students an opportunity to review and reflect on their individual progress in each of their classes. Our goal is for students to:
- understand themselves as learners and increase ownership for their learning
- grow their abilities to accurately reflect on their progress
- develop a plan for their growth/improvement
Each student's grade information should be updated in Schoology to show current progress in each of their classes. Please take time to view your student's grades on Schoology and discuss the information with your student. Teachers also dedicated time this week for specific reflection on individual student progress in their course (this may be via student conference, journaling, digital or hard copy reflective assignment, etc.); ask your student about their experience and their progress. You can expect individual communication from teachers related to any D/F grades or potential loss of credit.
Remember that the grades reported in Schoology are a snapshot of a student's current progress on any given day; they can change throughout the nine-week grading period. The final day of the first quarter grading period is Friday, November 1; term grades will be posted to transcripts the following week.
We will follow up our Mid-Term Week with an opportunity for parents/guardians to connect with teachers for individual conferences on Thursday, October 10th (in-person drop-in conferences from 5:30pm - 8:30pm) and/or Friday, October 11th (pre-scheduled Zoom conferences from 7:30am - 9:30am). See below for more info on what to expect during Conferences.
