State of the School
Update on CPS, Sullivan
- CPS has released the grading policy for remote learning. Students will not receive failing grades but rather an incomplete and have to make up classes, during remote learning summer school or fall credit recovery classes. Teachers reported that student engagement has increased a little since the policy was announced. Students, especially seniors, are doing assignments, check-ins, and using office hours in this transitional time as teachers and students are learning how to engage virtually. It has been particularly challenging for students in dual credit classes.
- Mr. Thomas reported that 10-15 students at each grade level have had no contact. Every school has been doing remote learning differently. A plan from CPS is expected for the fall.
Capital Improvements 2020- 2021 Update
