Grade Reporting This week we took two major assessments, one in math (all levels) and one in reading (on level and advanced). Due to the tight turnaround time, grade reports/breakdowns for these assessments will go home the week we return to school in January - this is within the district policy of 10 days for major grade reporting. Grades for the assessments may be posted in Infinite Campus prior to our return. Any student who qualifies for a reassessment either completed said reassessment this week, or will complete them on Wednesday when we return. Should you have any questions regarding these assessments, please reach out. Winter iReady Diagnostic Reports i-Ready has added a new feature this year that allows schools to share students’ Diagnostic results digitally by providing access to the For Families report directly on students’ i-Ready dashboard. Families will have digital access to the For Families report after logging in to their student’s i-Ready dashboard and entering our district report code: 1HX9DP on the top right-hand corner of the For Families tab. This code is applicable to all students throughout the district and is offered to families so they can access student results.
