Report Card Comments PD Presentation – February 7, 2018
Report Card Comments Exemplars

End-of-Year Group 4 and dead week–  The HSLT has been working on some key dates and programmatic changes for the end of the year.  We finalized these at our meeting this week and wanted to share these with you for planning purposes.

May 23: Last day for new content

May 24-31: Only review information (no new content), no HW, quizzes/tests that impact student grades (except final exam/project).  This is also known as a dead week.  If a teacher has a summative project such as a final exam, students are able to work on this during dead week.

May 24-31: Review time with students (grades 9 & 10)

May 24-25:  *Group 4 Project (all grade 11 students are off time table and working on Group 4 for two days)

May 28-31: Review time Grade 11

May 28-30: **Y1 students completing their IOCs for English

June 1-6: Final Exam Schedule

June 7: Last day of school (early release)

Further notes:

*We are moving the Group 4 Project out of WWW time, so that all science teachers and labs are available to support students.

**IOCs should not impact students missing classes.  These will take place during English class time or study halls.  In a rare instance, a handful of students might have to miss part of another class.  If this is necessary, information will be shared with impacted teachers at least a month before the date.

Please see your department head, Tim, or me if you have any questions.
