Topics to be Discussed; 

Transitional Kindergarten Age Requirement

Intent and Purpose of Transitional Kindergarten

Transitional Kindergarten Curriculum

Differences Between Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten

Our second program change will begin on Tuesday, January 19, 2021.  There will no longer be “independent learning days”.  All students must log in every day they are at home to all 5 classes. All Hankey middle school teachers will have contact with all students every day. Please note- this does not impact students’ onsite days! Program A students will still come to school on their color cohort days.

The changes will look like this:

• Tuesdays and Thursdays, all GREY students must log in to their assigned classes from home and follow the bell schedule.
• Wednesdays and Fridays, all RED students must log in to their assigned classes from home and follow the bell schedule.
• Attendance will be taken every day. 
• Special Education teachers will be reaching out to the families of students with IEPs to clarify details regarding support on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Each teacher will give further details of their newly restructured non-color cohort day class expectations prior to January 19, 2021.

As a reminder Hankey Middle School students will follow these school wide expectations:

 •             Log in to your class on time and stay logged in for the whole period

•               Keep your camera on when requested by the teacher, and be engaged for the whole class period to be marked present

•              Find a quiet place where you can unmute and participate

•              Have an appropriate and distraction-free background/environment

•              Wear school appropriate clothing and have an appropriate profile picture

•              Eat before or after class

•              Remember: All School Rules Apply

Students must have a device with BOTH a functioning microphone and camera to be able to successfully participate in classes while online. For those who do not have BOTH a functioning microphone AND camera on their computer, parents/guardians are expected to pick up a school-issued Chromebook from the library as soon as possible so that students do not fall further behind. If you have this need, please contact Ghada Ghosn GMGHOSN@capousd.org

Please feel free to email me with any questions you have (deaguilera@capousd.org).  I will also be out at 1:40 tomorrow and Friday during Middle School dismissal to answer questions.

Thank you!

PE

At the board meeting on December 16th, Trustees approved a temporary adjustment to Board Policy T5121.1 Grades/Evaluation of Student Achievement to add Credit / No Credit grading marks for Physical Education. At the middle school and high school level, APEX/Online Physical Education will be graded as Credit (CR) or No Credit (NC). These CR or NC grades will be processed by teachers and finalized by 1/7/21 with student report cards will be published by 1/11/21.

General Temporary Policy Implications:

• Qualification for middle school honor roll is not impacted with a CR/NC in PE. PE grades are not calculated into qualification for these awards.
• As in spring 2020, these CR/NC marks will neither help nor harm your student’s grade point average. Students that received a mark of CR for PE will be granted PE credits. Students who received a mark of NC will not receive credit for the course.

The grade will show your student’s transcript as CR or NC in lieu of a traditional A-F grade. Students that received a mark of CR for PE will be granted PE credits. Students who received a mark of NC will not receive credit for the course. 

Upon return from winter break, PE teachers will be working to determine options for students who did not receive credit for PE. Communication outlining options will be shared with students and families in January.

We understand the difficult times and dynamics we are in and thank our PE teachers for working diligently to support all PE students and their progression through the Apex content and other delineated assignments. This decision is intended to further support students and families and relieve concerns associated with GPAs and transcripts.
