13 School Days to Go!

End of Year Report Cards and Grades

I will be collecting report card progress (K-5) and grades (6-12) at our LP10 meeting.

If you are using our field trip as the LP10 meeting, please make sure to respond to the email I sent out about how you would like to handle your final report cards and grades.

Here is how to prepare for end of year report cards:

Grades K-5:
Remember, there are no real "grades" for K-5. Report cards just track progress through the grade level standards. In general: most students will be earning 3s for most categories, meaning that the grade level standard has been mastered. A student working a full grade level above will earn 4s, categories still in progress will earn a 2, 2+ or 3-.

• Download (or just view) sample report cards below. Look over the categories and see if you have any questions. Have your progress grades ready to give me at our LP10 meeting. 
• Decide if you would like to add optional effort grades and if so, have them ready to give me at our LP10 meeting.
• Write up your overall comments to read to me at our LP10 meeting. You can also email them to me if it is easier.
• You do not need to fill out the LP10 progress tab on the semester plan. The report card will count for that.

Grades 6-12:

• Have your final grades updated in your Semester Plan for our LP10 meeting. 
• Write up your overall comments and optional effort grades to give to me at our LP10 meeting. 

You can download/view sample report cards here. Yes, the samples say "Fall" but the categories will be the same and the final report card will be correct.

If you have any questions, or need any help, please contact me.

Summer Vouchers

Did you see the Wire post on Early Home School Voucher Ordering?

Here is a link to the page.
Here is what it says:

Big news; Visions In Education is introducing Early Voucher Ordering for the summer!

Our early voucher ordering process will allow ordering from May 15 to June 28 for the 2019/2020 summer months. During this time, continuing families can order vouchers for the months of July and August only.

Key Notes

• Unfortunately, newly enrolled siblings will not be eligible for early voucher ordering.
• The maximum dollar limit for July and August vouchers is $600.
• Vouchers will only be approved for continuing families that have already worked with their CT to acquire their curriculum for the 2019/2020 school year.
• At the end of day, June 28, we will turn off early voucher ordering and voucher ordering will not be turned back on until CTs return in August.

When CTs return in August, families will again be able to resume creating vouchers for an August 27 start date (which is the first day of school next year).

For our continuing families who take advantage of early voucher ordering, we hope you enjoy the ability to participate in enrichment activities throughout the summer.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the Resource Center.
*As a friendly reminder, please remember per our policy, vouchers are non-refundable.
