6-12 Traditional Grading Practices Update (6-12)

 Hi All-

I just wanted to share an update on our 6-12 traditional grading practices for the 2024-2025 school year. We will be slightly editing the language in our reassessment section and will share with the Board for approval at our next Board meeting which will be May 29th which falls just after our last day of attendance. The full discussion regarding the changes can be found on the recording of the May 13th meeting on our website, but the two key takeaways are:

-Teachers having the final approval of a student's relearning plan to make sure that the necessary steps have been taken

-A cap on improvement of the reassessment taken

If you have questions after watching the meeting, please contact Patrick atr 11509@kaneland.org to discuss.
