LPS secondary students will go to pass
LPS secondary students will go to pass_fail system for last quarter
As Lincoln Public Schools launches into remote learning in earnest next week, it will abandon letter grades for a pass/fail system for all middle and high school students' assignments and final grades.
“During this fourth quarter our emphasis is on learning, student learning, it is not on grades,” said Matt Larson, LPS associate superintendent of instruction. “Our primary priority is to ensure that seniors who are on track to graduate, graduate at the end of this semester and that all other students are prepared to enter courses next fall.”
LPS following state health directive, will stay closed at least until May 6
That means all students will get “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory” grades on all fourth-quarter assignments and on their final class grades. For semester-long classes, students have the option of using their third-quarter grades if they wish, Larson said. A special Coronavirus Pandemic Closure designation will be noted in their transcripts.
The last day of school for LPS — scheduled long before spread of the coronavirus began — is May 21.
The uncertainty of how the pandemic will spread in Nebraska makes it unlikely students would come back to school before the end of the year, Joel said, though he knows it would be nice if that could happen.
As for graduation ceremonies, Joel said administrators are beginning to discuss how they might unfold, including at later dates, or possibly through some kind of virtual ceremony. He said he anticipated making a decision in a couple of weeks.
