Dear Langford Parents,
I hope this email finds
you and your family well. Thank you for your patience while our district’s
instructional leaders used the guidance from the South Carolina Department of
Education to formulate a plan to count e-learning/remote learning toward the completion
of the second semester of the 2019-2020 school year. The information below
outlines how all elementary schools in Richland Two will use the
e-learning/remote learning assignments to assess students’ progress. In these
unprecedented times, our focus remains on student progress and learning.
Teachers will continue to offer appropriate grade-level instruction while being
flexible and considerate of each family’s unique circumstances.
Grades
- Report cards will not be issued
for the third-nine weeks. The third-nine weeks’ grades listed in Parent
Portal should now be considered as interim reporting on your student’s performance through the midpoint of the second semester. If you need help logging into Parent Portal, please email Mrs. Hogan at ahogan@richland2.org.
- The third- and fourth-nine
weeks will now be counted as one grading period for the second semester.
- Students will not receive a
traditional numerical or letter grade for the second semester.
PreK – first grade: Students will receive a “Satisfactory” or “Needs
Improvement” in English/language arts and math for the second semester.
Students will not receive a grade in related arts.
Second grade: Students will receive a “Pass” or “Not Pass” in English/language
arts and math for the second semester. Students will not receive a grade in
Related Arts.
Third grade – fifth grade: Students will receive a “Pass” or “Not Pass”
in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies for the second semester. Students
will not receive a grade in Related Arts.
E-learning/Remote
Learning Assignments
- The remote learning work
assigned to students for March 19-April 9, and the e-learning/remote
learning assignments starting on April 20 will count toward a child’s
progress in their classes.
- The instructional packets will
be collected when we return to school in May. If the school closure is extended beyond April 30, we will announce plans for a safe collection of the work similar to how we distributed the packets. For now, please keep our child’s work in a safe place.
The faculty and staff at
Langford Elementary recognize the challenges our families are facing during
this unprecedented time. If your family’s current circumstances are impacting
your students’ ability to complete the e-learning assignments, please reach out
to your student’s teacher(s) or Mrs. Davis, our school counselor at lasdavis@richland2.org. We care deeply about our students and their
families and are here to support you and your child during this unique time of
teaching and learning.
Sincerely,
Kaseena Jackson
Principal
