Grades

Grades are reported approximately each three weeks of school. The tri-term grades are not final grades but are only the place where the student is at cumulatively each grading period. It is possible to pass every tri-term but still fail a course or fail the tri terms and pass the course if the majority of points or grades were in the last tri term. In other words when computing the final grades it is not an average of the tri terms but the cumulative success level of the student in your class at the end of the Term.

It cannot be stressed enough how important the multiple grade opportunity is too many parents. It has helped far more than you know as parents are able to see the progression of success via the letter grades. Although the extreme of all “A’s” and then failing the class is possible it is also extremely rare as most students show a trend; up, down or stay the same over 3 (Block classes) grading periods. These progressions alert parents to problems, demonstrate improvement, and have decreased their frustration in not being able to intervene before it is too late to salvage the grade and/or the credit.

For Tri-term Grades:Letter grades (“A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, or “F”) should be used for all classes. The “+” should only be used in the situations when a student has not completed their make-up work or back work, if you as the teacher, allow it, and they are or would be passing if the work had been completed. Do not use the “+” just because you have few grades for the first tri term or you don’t want to take the time to figure the grades. At tri term “I” (Incompletes) are NOT allowed, please see example below.

For Term Grades:Letter grades (“A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, or “F”) should be used for all classes. Incompletes can be used until work is completed (see incompletes, for the term).

Incompletes

For the Tri term:

The reason we have to do incompletes differently has to do with the academic eligibility policy. Since incompletes are considered failing grades when figuring eligibility it would be unfair for a student who is passing a class but missing an assignment or a test to be considered failing if they are in fact passing the class without the missing work. Therefore, FOR THE TRI-TERM, WE DO NOT ALLOW INCOMPLETES. Instead you must make a choice from one of three decisions:

1. You may give them the grade thy have at that point2. You may give them a “+” if a student would be passing whether the material was completed or not.3. You may give them an “F” if a student would not be passing even if the material was completed.

Once a grade is given and the eligibility list is printed you cannot change a grade unless you gave the grade in error. An “F” does not become a higher grade because the student completed work done later in the next tri term. You cannot change the grade; you will give them a higher grade at the next tri-term. If they were really that close you should have given them a “+” or a “D” rather than the “F”.

For the term:Incompletes can be given for the term grade only if all work is not completed and should be changed after the work is completed. Since we have to have a letter grade for the term, a student having an incomplete is considered ineligible (an incomplete is considered and F until changed). Incompletes will permanently turn into “F’s” after two weeks if the student has not made arrangements with their instructors to complete the work in an acceptable, longer time frame or the teacher choose to give the student the grade earned after giving zeros for the work not made up.

FinalsThe Board of Education has allowed a one-week period at the end of each term for alternative/performance assessment and traditional semester tests. It was never intended for instruction to end when those tasks were completed. The expectation of your administration and your Board of Education is what we utilize all 180 days to teach the students in your class.

Final days will be the last two days of the term/semester. Blocks one and two will be held on day one –Blocks three and four will be held on day two.

Teachers are required to give a final or culminating activity during scheduled final time. All students must stay with assigned teacher the entire finals block and dismissed at bell.

There will be no course field trips during the last five days of each term unless it can be completed within the block that the course is taught.

Everyone takes final assessments….no opting out.

Final Assessments may count up to 20% of the final grade.

Teachers are to keep on file the following information after their final assessments are completed for each Term: (For each class)

1. a description or copy of the final assessments2. Written tests3. Performance assessments4. Project

Parent-Teacher Conferences Dos and Don’tsDo:Before Conferences

Have students write down what they feel their strengths and weaknesses are in your class and share this information at conferences Have students write goals for second quarter Print grades/have grades Printouts and comments with each lesson/assignment available Take samples of textbooks Use laptops instead of paper Create business cards to give parents

Setting the tone – Positive Introduce yourself Shake hands Smile Make eye contact Begin the conference with a positive statement Be soft on the student, hard on the problem/issue

Focus on the conference – Improvement Show samples of student’s work Grade breakdown Stay focused and do not get off subject Give them specific strategies/solutions parents can use when working with their child If negative, with parent (student if there) find a fix – ask parent’s opinion…if student is there: ask what his/her opinions are of class,

problems/concerns Discuss ways the school can help i.e. use of planners, study table, peer tutors, library, before/after school, etc. Suggest names of other staff members, such as AEA, that could offer assistance to students who are struggling Listen carefully to their concerns Work together Comment about outside class (e.g. homework, what are they involved/interested in?) “How can I help you?” Have lesson signup sheets

Closing the conference – Positive End the conference with a positive Set goals with parents/student if student is there Ask if they have any questions or concerns Give them something to take with them (Example: announcements of future quizzes/tests, websites, run-down of what parents and

students need to know) Talk about career opportunities Thank them for coming Say it was nice to meet you Communication: exchange e-mails, inform about webpage if have one, send email reminders Set up future communication/meeting for discussing results.

Don’t: Start with a negative Always tell the parent what you think they want to hear. Be honest. Compare with other students Ever talk about other students talk too much Talk too much Ever say but….. Attack Lose your cool Be confrontational Be negative about their child Let them whine Let them concentrate on student, concentrate on behavior Get off the subject

-Give a small amount of extra credit for students who come with their parental units and lead the conference and make introductions. (Ironically – also a minus if parental units get picky-picky about the amount of timing of the extra credit!)

-Discuss and show the student planner and how if the student is not doing well, they as parents can ask to see the planner daily and check work. If nothing is in the planner and the child is failing, the lack of using the planner may be part of the problem!

-Talk about SchoolMaster and PASS. Indicate how you post and if you weight grades and why. I tell them that I post most homework and especially major tests and essays or projects one a week or so in advance so that they can check with heir students ahead of time. I also suggest that they check or have the student print weekly reports on Thursdays to give them (since they may not have time or computer expertise!) I suggest Thursdays so that if there are missing assignments or have lower than expected grades the students can stay home that weekend to catch-up on their work.

-Bring curriculum materials and books to show what you have covered and what you will be covering.

-Bring a copy of the course requirements and standards for written work to discuss. Have them sign and return the course requirements at the start of the semester and conferences are a good time to go over them in person.

-Suggest having their own “book club” at home for the books that you may be reading.

-If the students is there, have them explain what we have been doing in class and their favorite and least favorite things about class. They can also discuss what they have learned so far that is new.

If, as a teacher,

I present the same lessons in the same manner that I have used in the past;

I seek no feedback from my students;

I do not analyze and evaluate their work in a manner that changes my own emphasis,

repertoire, and timing;

I do not visit or observe other adults as they teach;

I do not share the work of my students with colleagues for feedback, suggestions, and

critiques;

I do not visit other schools or attend particular workshops or seminars or read

professional literature on aspects of my teaching,

I do not welcome visitors with experience and expertise to me on my classroom

practice;

I have no yearly individualized professional development plan focused on classroom

changes to improve student learning; and finally,

I have no systematic evaluation of my teaching tied to individual, grade/department,

and schoolwide goals.

Then…

I have absolutely no way to become better as a teacher.Glickman, Clar. (2002). Leadership for learning: how to help teachers succeed. Alexandria, VA: ASCD

School Sponsored Trips/Activities (Board Policy)Students who break the rules of any trip or violate the “Good conduct Policy” while on a school sponsored trip will be handled in the following way:

1. Parents will be notified.2. Parents may choose one of the following:

A. Parent picks up the child at the site of the trip.B. Parent pays for the child and chaperone to be brought home immediately by commercial

transportation. (Child will be accompanied by a chaperone.)C. Parent agrees student is on house arrest, will remain in motel room, on bus, etc. while

other students are involved in the activities planned for trip. (Child will be accompanied by a chaperone at all times.)

3. If the trip is within the Fort Madison Community School District, the student will be transported back to the building for disposition.

The activity sponsor or teacher of the class is to ensure that both parent and students understand how rules and “Good Conduct Policy” violations will be handled and will provide information to each student and parent prior to leaving on any school-sponsored trip. Parental or guardian signatures must be acquired by the activity sponsor for the purpose of acknowledging understanding of the rules and consequences to the student and the subsequent responsibilities of the parent if the rules are violated.

Forfeiting of funds due to Good Conduct Eligibility, academic eligibility, or for building discipline issues:

Students who have paid funds to attend activities sponsored by the school of by activity groups sponsored by the school will forfeit any monies that they paid towards trips to be taken outside the school district if they become ineligible to participate in the activity because of Good Conduct Eligibility, academic eligibility, or for building discipline issues.

All monies that students raise through fund raisers to help pay for trips outside the school district is also forfeited if they become ineligible to participate in the activity because of Good Conduct Eligibility, academic eligibility, or for building discipline issues.

The activity sponsor or teacher of the class, to ensure that both parent and students understand the possibility of the forfeiture of all funds, will provide information to each student and parent prior to any fund raising for any proposed trip. Parental of guardian signatures must be acquired by the activity sponsor for the purpose of acknowledging understanding of the possibility of the forfeiture of funds if the school rules are violated.

Be sure each room you use has the exit posted. Please be sure that your students move rapidly and orderly. If your normal exit is blocked advise them to turn and move orderly to the next closest exit. Those exiting to the south must go to the street (Avenue “C”), those exiting to the east must go to the east fence, and those to the north must go halfway across the practice field. Rooms exiting to the west need to go to the 21st street and then north to the northwest parking lot. Close all windows and doors as you leave. Please stress to your students the importance of taking these drills seriously. The best way is by displaying a good example to your classes.

K-9 Lockdown procedures

K-9 Perimeter Lock Down:All outside doors to the school will be locked Teachers with prep time during the lock down will assist in watching all exitsDoors lockedContinue instructional activityLights may be onStudents may leave the classroom with passes Lock down is over when the all clear is given over the intercom system K-9 Locker Lock Down:Teachers with prep time during the lock down will assist in watching all hallways and escorting students to their classrooms if necessaryDoors lockedContinue instructional activityLights may be onStudents MAY NOT leave the classroom for any reason except in the case that an administrator would want to see themLock down is over when the all clear is given over the intercom system

General:“K-9 Lock Down” No search by the dogs will last over one hour and 20 minutes and they will be at the start of a block. We will not have any searches during block 3. It is extremely important that you do not use your phones or let anyone use a cell phone. The school phones are our connection to you and if there is significant information to be shared it will be the preferred method of communication. Cell phones during a “K-9 Lock Down” will interfere with your instruction.

Communication from outside:“Lock Down K-9” – All calls to the office will be directed to voice mail, except emergency calls which will be put through. We will inform callers that we are having a lock down.

Intruder Lock Down Procedure

Stop all instructional activityDoors lockedLights offWindows coveredSilentStudents out of view of windows and in a safe placeWait for an administrator to unlock your door and give you the all clear

During intruder lock downs, cell phones will clog communications for police and other agencies and create traffic problems if parents try to get to the school, making it impossible for law enforcement to effectively do their job in keeping you and the students as safe as possible. As an alternative have your computers on and pull up your e-mail. It will be a back up avenue for communications and instructions.

Below is a list of who to e-mail for attendance or any non emergency communication.

Example of an emergency situation: Serious medical condition – i.e. seizures, heart condition, asthma attack. Needing to use the restroom is considered a “non emergency” situation and student must remain in the room.

Call (only in an emergency should you make a phone call)

100’s - Debbie 1204 or [email protected] 200’s - 1204 or300’s- 1204 or 400’s - 1210 or [email protected]’s - 1210 or600’s – Kim 1201 or [email protected] calls – Kim 1201 or

If one of the above should be out of the office when a lock down is implemented, Karen Wallet has been designated as alternate person to handle calls, e-mails, etc. at that her desk.

 Communication from outside:“Intruder Lock Down” – All calls will be directed to the voice mail. Inquiries of what is going on will simply be, we are in a lock down.

Attendance Import your section rosters

Go to the Utility menu on the top, click on it and then click on “Import Schoolmaster Rosters”, then click on “Sections”. Select your rosters for the term that you will be teaching and click “OK”.

Open your new sections

Go to the File menu on the top and click on “open”, click on a section and click “OK”.

Creating weighted groups

Click on the “View” scrollbar on the right, then go down and click on “configuration”. On the left-hand side of the configuration view is a button called “Add group”; click it.An “Add classroom group” screen will pop up and you should type in “Attendance Participation” next to the name, type “15” next to the weight, “100” next to the value, and keep “numeric” next to display type. Then click “OK”.

*You can make however many weighted groups you want using this same process (tests, quizzes, homework, etc…) you just have to make sure when you go back to the configuration screen that your weights add up to a total of 100.

Creating an assignment for “Attendance Participation”

Make sure you are back to the “data entry” view and then click the Task bar at the top. Go down and click “Add Assignment”. Give it a title of “Attendance Participation”, whatever heading you want, then click on the “Group” scrollbar and go to “Attendance Participation”. Keep the value at 100 and click “OK”. It should show up on your data entry view now, you can type in 100 for all students and whenever the student is absent and misses the participation points you type in the % equivalent (for example 86% for 1 absence, 71% for 2, etc…). You can constantly update this to keep track of your attendance participation points. You can make a new one for each term and you will need to have it included within the date range of the calculations that you send to the office for grades.

Notes: In the configuration view you can no longer have the total point’s box checked because that will ignore

the weighted grades. When you send a calculation to the office for grades you should have the bottom righthand box

entitled “Calculate on members of” on “overall”, that will ensure all your weighted grades are calculated.

Once one class is set-up, you can import those same settings to your other classes on the configuration view under the Task menu.

You can create a hard copy roster to help you keep track in your room of attendance and participation points that have been lost and recovered. Just go to the Report menu on the top, go down and click on “Roster”. Select your grade books, check the print grid box, and make the # of boxes 10 or more, then hit “print”. You can use your printed copy to write the dates in of when students are absent and the cross them out as the students recover them.
