Grading for Quarter 3 includes work completed from January 20 to March 12. Teachers are completing report cards and special ed progress reports at this time. 4th quarter grading information will be determined in the next few weeks.There will also, in many cases, be messages going out from principals of individual schools
The Commissioner of Education has provided guidance to school districts changing the focus of learning from extended student learning to remote learning. Remote learning includes the completion of learning activities and projects. The Commissioner’s guidance states students should spend around 3 1/2 hours a day learning. WPS students are expected to work on remote learning projects beginning Monday, April 6. Students will not receive grades for remote learning. Students will receive teacher feedback. It is important our students continue to remain engaged in learning.
The WPS launched the new Weekly Remote Learning Plans this afternoon. Individual school’s Remote Learning Plans can be found on the district website, worcesterschools.org, and also on the drop down menu on the new WPS Mobile App.
During the period of the Governor’s Extended Mandatory Closure, educators will make regular contact with their assigned students or responsible parent or guardian as well as provide remote learning to their students.
Principals will be contacting students and families with more information on each school’s Remote Learning Plan. The dedicated WPS staff will continue to contact you to provide the message “ WPS care about our students and families.”
