Repost: Second Semester Progress Reporting
Now, we're still a ways off from the end of the year, but I anticipate that between now and June, time will, as they say, fly. It's never to late to start thinking about Progress Reports for the end of the year. For Second Semester, I'd like to propose the following schedule:
- 7 May Grade Check
- 6 June 8:00am Submit Course Summary to Course Summaries S2 2015-2016
- 8-10 June MS Second Semester Finals
- 17 June 8:00am Submit Student Narratives and Grades to Semester 2 Student Narratives
- 17-20 June Review of Student Narratives and Grades by Bill & Clare
- 21 June Posting of Semester 2 Progress Reports
As you think about writing student narratives, please keep the items noted on Example Semester Narrative in mind, both for content and formatting.
Advisors: Let's plan another round of Grade Checks to be completed by the end of this week. A template for messaging to families about the Grade Check can be found here. This will give us a little time before the trips to address any academic concerns and set plans to implement after we return from the far corners.
Repost: Followup on Summer News & Summer Work
I've created a folder for Summer News and Summer Work. Please add any final updates or suggestions to the relevant doc before the end of the month. We will aim to collate this information into a checklist to distribute to students and a page on the portal for more in-depth information.
Repost: Follow up on the End-of-the-Year Events
Please remember to add any updates or missing information about year-end events to the Outline of End of Year docs.Advisory this week...
