• Individual assignment grades reflect the actual score earned by the student.
• Students have five school days to complete missing work/makeup work due to absences.
• If an assignment is not submitted, a grade of zero must be entered immediately as a placeholder. If the work is completed during the allowed makeup time, the grade will be updated to reflect the completion.
• Academic progress uses a weighted system, with grades categorized as Projects/Tests (50%), Quizzes/Labs (25%), and Classwork 25%.
• As you review your child's grades throughout the quarter, keep in mind that by the end of the quarter your child should have a minimum number of grades in each subject to ensure a balance between tests, quizzes and classwork.
• Check Power School frequently

First Grade Parents,

As first-grade students develop and strengthen their reading skills, teachers will gradually transition away from reading assessment questions and answer choices aloud to students. This progression is intended to support students in developing independence and demonstrating mastery of their reading skills.

Beginning with this second quarter, all first grade students are expected to read weekly and module assessment passages independently. Teachers may only read the questions and answer choices to students.

All accommodations in 504 Plans and IEPs will continue to be followed as outlined. Please see the quarterly expectations as we progress through the school year:

Module Assessments:

Q1- Teacher reads both the

passage and the

questions/answers.

Q2- Teacher reads

questions/answers only.

Q3- Students take the entire

test independently.

Q4- Students take the entire

test independently.

If you have questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher for additional information.

Regular attendance and arriving at school on time are important parts of student success. When students are present, prepared, and on time, they are ready to learn from the very beginning of the day.

Missing school or arriving late can mean missing important instruction, classroom routines, directions, and opportunities to connect with teachers and classmates. Even a few minutes each day can add up to valuable learning time.

Families can help by establishing consistent morning and bedtime routines, scheduling appointments outside of school hours when possible, and making daily attendance a priority.

💚💙 One Team, One Dream! When families and schools work together to support good attendance, we give every student the best opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed!

For the 2026-2027 school year, every school in our district will be using Navigate 360, a visitor management system, to enhance security and streamline the student sign-in and sign-out process. Anyone signing students in or out during the school day must present a valid photo ID. Extended Day will also require a valid photo ID to be presented to staff at student pickup.

Accepted forms of ID:

• Driver’s license

• State-issued ID

• Passport

Need to make changes to PowerSchool information, including pickup authorization?
Parents or guardians requesting changes to student information in PowerSchool must present a government-issued ID, complete and sign a form at the school. After ID verification, front office staff will process the requested updates. Changes involving guardianship, custody, or other restrictions will continue to require the appropriate supporting documentation.
