Students who are enrolled in my 3rd period Academic Literacy/Reading 3 (including those who are no longer in my class) and students who are enrolled in my 6th period Exploratory class will all receive a "P" (for passing) on their report card. I do not feel that I can fairly nor accurately grade students based on two weeks worth of work. All the work that students have done during these two weeks will go towards the next marking period grade.
If you have any questions about this, please let me know as soon as possible.
Grades should be mailed out the week of October 6th.
Thank you,
Ms. Robillard
