Howard Special Area Weekly Announcement

Good Morning Howard Dragons!

Thank you to all students and families who are participating in their special area classes and sharing with us your participation! We love to see what you are doing and we miss you!

As we are closing in on the end of the school year, we wanted to share with you the grading scale we are required to use.

Elementary Grading Criteria – COVID-19 School Shutdown

For the current marking period:

Students receive feedback on weekly assignments in the form of narrative comments.

Meeting: regularly submitted work and attended check-ins
- High participation
Progressing: Submitted most assignments and attended some of the check-ins
Limited Participation: with one of the following explanations
- Rarely or did not submit work
- Rarely attended check-in sessions
- Family hardship during the time of instruction

Please know that we understand how hard this has been to all families. We have families ourselves and are juggling many of the same things that you are.

Our lessons should be a FUN way to engage in school and are not intended to be a further point of stress, but a way to balance yourselves holistically.

Connect in our blog, the Lessons are in our Google Classrooms.
