Dr. Cerny’s statement on second semester grades
The goal is that E-learning moves instruction forward in grades 7-12 and covers essential state standards in grades K-6.
Secondary students- Grades for 3rd quarter and 4th quarter will be calculated separately, and each quarter will be worth 2.5 credits. No semester grades for second semester. Students not meeting course requirements at the end of the school year will be given an incomplete for the course and given until August 17 to complete the work and receive credit for the class.
Elementary students- Instructional groups will start in the Fall where they left off in March.
