Well it is very chilly outside today, but the sun is still out and it will hopefully brighten everyone’s day.

Yesterday, all Edsel Ford teachers and administrators met in a virtual staff meeting to discuss many important things for the end of the school year. One of the most important things that we discussed is semester grades, especially for Seniors. Senior grades will be finalized by the end of May. We are very near the end of the year for Seniors. We are near the end of the school year for everyone! Now is the time for everyone to get caught up on any work that you are missing from the online assignments! Many teachers are not accepting late work from their students. I probably should not accept it either, however, I do want each of you to receive at least a “G” grade (passing) grade for my class and the best way to accomplish this is by completing all missing assignments. Many teachers have also changed their MiStar gradebook to reflect the new grading system. I will most likely change the way that my gradebook looks too. The grades prior to the shutdown on March 16 will be hidden. I will show only the online grades from March 16 on. Any missing assignments from after April 20 will now receive a 0 because we are required to count all grades after April 20. I am sure this will completely change the outlook of the grades from quite a few of you. Some of you who had an “A” grade before may now fall to below 75% or even below 60%. Please finish the year strong! Most of you can still receive an “A” grade for my class. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!
