Special announcement about the Dolvin Chorus will be coming via email to current 4th and 5th grade members! Good morning parents! Please take a minute and review the communication that was sent out in the Dolvin Diary yesterday involving grades: [Quick Summary]
Using this guidance, Dolvin teachers will determine which 7 Remote Learning assignments from the 4th Quarter will be required for satisfactory completion in ELA and which 7 assignments for Math. The assignments selected will be communicated to families. Additionally, teachers will directly reach out to the students (and parents of students) who have not completed these assignments to let them know these assignments are required toward the 70 percent completion requirement. If students complete the assignments and require further instruction to help gain a better understanding of the standards covered, teachers will work directly with those student(s) through live meetings, recorded lessons, or other methods. Teachers will then allow students to redo any parts of the assignment where they did not demonstrate a satisfactory understanding of the standards covered. 4th Quarter grade reporting in Infinite Campus will reflect the following:
*Students with 30% or more of the assignments marked “I” may be required to attend summer school for either ELA or Math. Discretion will be used to determine which students will attend summer school regardless of the 70%. Students are still expected to complete 35 minutes of math, 35 minutes of ELA, and 20 minutes of specials every day. I am hoping that by keeping them on a schedule, they will feel a little more stable during this time of uncertainty. I also want to make sure students are prepared to start their middle school career with a bang! If there is ever a time when completing work is a challenge, please reach out and I can offer assistance. I will be entering "grades" throughout this next week and will reach out if your child is missing any of the assignments that will be entered into Infinate Campus. To Do Today: Today is the first day of ABC Countdown! Do something fun that starts with A! A - April 17 Art – create an artistic masterpiece and post a picture Apples – eat an apple (or something with apples) and post a picture Airplane – post a picture of you making a paper airplane.
