Attendance
We ask that students have contact with each of their teachers every week via email, a post to Google Classroom, or by some other means. We want to ensure our students are safe, healthy, and moving forward as best as they can.
Grading
We ask that students complete the assignments teachers are posting on Google Classroom, as it will be their new learning. Teachers will be providing students guidance and feedback about this new learning in lieu of a letter grade at this time. No report card at the middle school level will be issued for Marking Periods 3 & 4 (second semester). See grading policy.
Students with Special Needs
- Special Education staff will ensure that IEP supports and services will be implemented through an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and Amendment, or the student’s current IEP.
- If you have questions about your child’s IEP or 504 plan, please connect with their caseload manager.
Materials
- It is understood that accessibility to devices and reliable Internet varies from household to household.
- Students should contact their teachers and/or caseload managers regarding the need for printed materials. Every effort will be made to satisfy this request.
Building and Field Access
- Because the MHSAA (Michigan High School Athletic Association) has canceled spring sports and the stay-at-home order is in force, no one should be on school grounds or using athletic facilities at any time, unless picking up educational materials.
- Once the stay-at-home order is lifted, information will be available about how to pick up personal items left in the building and return textbooks and materials.
Communication Is Key
- Being mindful of our values of Flexibility, Simplicity, and Understanding, we are committed to a partnership in the learning journey ahead.
- Please communicate with your child about what is happening in their classes, connect with teachers if there are concerns, and let the administrative team know how we can help.
Take Good Care and Be Safe,
Diane Newman
