Procedures for the End of the School Year

for student checkout
We are now preparing for the final days of the 2019-2020 school year and have outlined the following procedures for collecting personal items from the school and returning district property. As a start, no students or parents will be permitted in the building at this time. District personnel will collect and bag student possessions from their lockers and classrooms. Parents and students will have it available for pickup curbside according to the schedule outlined below. All district employees who help with this evolution will be required to wear facemasks.

We are also pleased to announce that our food service program will continue to operate through June 30th per the procedures that have been in place since the onset of this emergency. As a reminder, this meal service is available to any child in the district age 18 and under. Please visit our website for additional details on meal service.

Grades 

PK-6: Due to the disruption of the end of the 2019-20 school year, we will not be sending out end of the year report cards at the elementary level (PK-6).

For questions about grades at the P-6 level, contact Mr. Schlatter


7-8: Our goal is to be very flexible as we make these decisions to benefit students where we can. Students will receive quarter 3 grades as their final second semester grade at the time of closure. Any students with failing grades for quarter 3 will be assigned remediation. All students will receive a Pass for 4th quarter.  You can expect to get a copy of your grades around June 1st.  We will be flexible with honor roll expectations.

9-12: We are looking at combinations of “pass” and/or letter grades. Our goal is to be very flexible as we make these decisions to benefit students where we can. For each class in which the student had a passing grade, we asked “does this grade raise the student’s cumulative GPA?” If yes, the grade stood. Otherwise, the grade was converted to a Pass that does not factor into the student’s GPA. If a student prefers the alternative, they may request the change via email to Mrs. Koop. If you have questions about “pass” grades for your college entrance or major requirements, you should contact the college you plan to attend and ask your admissions officer. You can expect to get a copy of your grades and/or transcripts around June 1st. ​If you are enrolled in a class through Hawkeye Community College, those grades will be communicated on your transcript, and your GPA will be updated accordingly. Any students with failing grades will be assigned remediation.

For questions about grades at the 7-12 level, contact Mr. Dieken

Collecting Personal Belongings and Checking Out for the Summer

May 25: At 8:00 a.m. on May 25th, all district owned student computers and devices will be locked remotely. These must be turned in during check out (see below).  Students in grades 7-12 should have school work completed prior to this date.  All files should be backed-up to a student’s google drive.

May 26-27: Grades PK-6 checkout will be on the southeast corner of the elementary building next to the playground. Enter the facility from the north end of campus on 1st street and proceed behind the football stadium. You will first need to drop off any district owned property such as library books, computers, school owned musical instruments, and textbooks. Following that dropoff, proceed to the next stop where you will give your name and grade level and a school employee will retrieve your belongings. Do not leave your car.
