Dear Families,
We want to make you aware of an issue we recently identified with the gradebook for 6th grade science. We recognize that grades have not been updated in several weeks, and we understand that having current information is important for students and families.
The situation is being addressed, and we are working to ensure that the gradebook is brought up to date and accurately reflects students’ work and progress. We appreciate your patience as we work through the necessary updates. We will be working with students to get any late work turned in and grades updated in a timely manner.
Our goal is to make sure families have timely, reliable information about student performance moving forward. We will continue to monitor the gradebook and follow up as needed to ensure updates remain current.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership as we work to get this resolved.
Sincerely,
Catherine Schmutz
