Important Reminders
Reminder: 2nd Nine Weeks Learning Mode Commitment Form
You all should have received an email from the district regarding the commitment process for the second grading period, which begins on Tuesday, October 13th, and goes through Friday, December 18th. Remember, you will only need to fill out a commitment form for the second grading period if you are CHANGING your commitment decision for the second grading period. If you are wanting to keep the same mode of learning your child has now, you do not need to fill it out. The deadline for commitments for the second grading period is Wednesday, September 30th.
Checking Grades and Comments on SchoologyWe would love your help checking your child's grades on Schoology. We have explained to learners how to do this, however, an extra set of eyes is always helpful.
1. At the top of you child's Schoology home page is a red ribbon with the word "Grades". Please click that.
2. There will be a dropdown menu, please select the first option at the top, "Grade Report".
3. Once you have clicked on Grade Report, each of your child's subjects will populate for you to click on. 
4. There you will see a paper icon if they have submitted an assignment, and a grade out of 3. If they have a 1 or a 2 they should go back to fix their submission. The 4 squares will take you to a rubric where you will see a comment about why they have received that score. 5. If you do not see a paper icon on the right, they have not submitted the assignment and need to do that ASAP.
