Dear 3rd, 4th, & 5th Grade Parents,                  

We wanted to share with you how the grading process will work, as we take grades for the 4th and final quarter this school year, using the new Odysseyware program. 

The overall grade for all of the work in this time period will be added to the grade book for each of the 4 subjects of ELA, Math, Science, and History/Social Studies.  The final grade for each subject will be the average of the assignments completed during the 4th quarter if that grade is higher than what they earned in the 3rd quarter. If the average of the work done at home is lower than what the student earned in the 3rd quarter, the 3rd quarter grade will also be their 4th quarter grade.

Please make sure your child is logging on to the Odysseyware program and completing the assignments so their grades can be recorded for each subject area.  

We know everyone is worried about their child being ready for next year.  We want to assure you that by completing the work in Odysseyware, your child will learn the new skills necessary to prepare them for moving onto the next  grade.  

The support you are giving your child at home is appreciated and we thank you for the extra time you are devoting to make sure our students continue learning during this unusual time. As always, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher or myself if you have any questions. 

Thank you,

Dr. Sally Perano

McNair Principal

Message from Special Area Teachers:

Parents, so that students may submit videos or turn in work, Special area teachers created Google Classrooms and calendars for the remaining month of school. You may submit your work there and we can see it and make comments.  We would love to see your projects, singalongs, or exercise activities.  If you do not wish to join the classroom, the calendar will still be available on the schools’ website.
