Important reminders

1. A district expectation is for teachers to post grades on assignments within a two week window. Grades should be updated throughout the marking period so that students and parents can review the feedback. Our students should have a minimum of 2 grades per week to allow them multiple opportunities for success and pointed feedback.  In collecting data more frequently, we are better able to modify instruction. 
2. Make sure that you and your colleagues (course or grade level) are providing similar opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding of the important concepts throughout the marking period. A student's grade in one section should not be based on 3 assignments compared to a student in a different section who received 30 assignments.  Let us all have consistent feedback for the students we are serving. The standards and feedback should be determined collaboratively with your colleagues in your professional learning community. 
3. Grades from the midterm common assessments cannot be used as a marking period grade as well. We cannot double dip these points. 
4. February 15 will be here in a few days! Are we ready to roll out our SGO assessments?
