Hi everyone!

I’ve had some questions regarding grading for our special area teachers: art, music, gym, and technology. In short, yes, special area teachers will also be grading your child for card marking four. They are also required to post lessons on their blogs for students to complete each week and will be graded based on participation, just like we will be grading them on academics.

With that being said, we don’t want to overwhelm anyone (I know, it certainly doesn’t feel that way), but we don’t. We just want to provide you will all of the lessons and info available and ask that you do what you can. Some days will be better than others and some weeks will be better than others. I can assure you that if you and your child are making an honest effort, everything will be fine.

Attached are the blogs for each of our special area teachers. Take a look when you get a chance and see what you can do. I haven’t looked at everyone’s in depth yet, but from what I can see so far, they are super short and fun!

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions, or if you have any specific questions for the special area teachers, feel free to email them directly.

Thanks,
