Raven families,

We hope that this year is off to a great start for your student! We are so excited to see the energy and excitement that is present every day here as we reconnect with full in person learning! We appreciate all that you do for your students and have been so impressed in how they have handled this transition. We could not be happier to have them back!

Since we are half way though our first quarter., we wanted to give you a little information on the end of Term 1. Term 1 progress grades will be posted in Skyward after Monday the 11th. We will be giving students hard copy report cards as we have in the past. In addition, you can access grade information through your Skyward account or as always through Jump Rope. With that said, these are just a point in time grade. We always recommend that you continue to access Jump Rope to get up to date grade information on your student. If you need login information please contact our main office at 360-313-5200.

The other thing that we wanted to mention is that Term 1 is just a graded progress report, not a final grade. The only grade that goes on transcripts is the official semester grade, not their Term 1 grade. The semester ends at the end of January and this is when the official grade is calculated.

If you have questions about how our standards based grading system works please see resources below. If there is a grade that you or your student would like to improve, look at Jump Rope to see which standards need to be addressed. If you have questions you can reach out to the teacher.

Here are some resources on our grading practices that may be helpful. These can also be found on our website:

  1. Pamphlet on our standards based grading practices
  2. Video on our grading practices
  3. Video on what a “D” or “F” mean (created by Mr. Wyckoff)
  4. Video on understanding Jump Rope (created by Mr. Wolverton)
  • As always if you have questions on grades, please reach out to your student’s teacher and they can help clarify.

    Reach out and let us know if you are having struggles. We are here to help.

GO RAVENS!
