Preparing for the end of year:
We have THREE more weeks until summer break — TWO more weeks of instruction, and ONE week of Final Assessments! As your student prepares for the end of year, please keep the following in mind:
Proficiency Requirements to Receive Credit
UCA seeks to ensure students move to the next level having mastered the necessary content and skills they need to succeed at that level. To earn credit for a course, a student must have an overall mastery level of Emerging - Level 2 or higher and have no No Evidence - 0s in an academic standard. The overall mastery level is calculated by averaging the individual class standards.
What do I do if my student isn’t meeting the requirements to pass class?
Review upcoming assessment directions with your student to make sure they are meeting all requirements.
Review upcoming assessment deadlines to make sure your student is on top of their work.
Review Office Hours schedules or request Office Hours with teachers to receive additional support.
Lunch:
Lunch orders are running on our BOONLI website! Make sure to place your orders by Thursday at midnight for next week's choices! Meals will only be cold items until our kitchen is ready to go. Thanks for your flexibility.
See the flyer below to sign up for BOONLI.
