Reminders and Updates Grading As you know, letter grades continue to be a topic of interest. In an effort to ensure that no student fails a course as a result of distance learning, beginning immediately (effective Term 3) students will no longer be issued a letter grade of "F" on their transcript. At the end of a term, any student who is not at a level of proficiency to earn credit for a course will receive a mark of "N" (No Grade) on the transcript. The "N" will remain on the transcript until a student completes the requirements for the course at which time they will receive an earned letter grade.
Viewing Student Grades Parents/Guardians, this is a friendly reminder that you can click on your student's grade in each class within Skyward Family Access/Gradebook to view a grade report and summary of assignments.
Click the letter grade next to the class: A grade report will appear, which will show the overall course grade and percentage, breakdown of "categories" that are being graded in the course, a list of all graded assignments (listed in category order), and with notations for assignments that have not been graded, missing work, and more:

Recognize A WHS Staff Member Recognizing - Becky Meyer, Special Education Teacher Becky is a wonderful teacher and advocate - she cares for her students so very much. She works hard and helps each of her special needs students grow and develop. It is a challenge to parent all children but special needs children add another level of complexity. Becky goes above and beyond to help guide students and parents through a complex maze of high school. I appreciate how she differentiated for my daughter and allowed her to develop skills to be independent. Becky has made a lasting impact on my daughter. - Sue Bradsher Share the good things - Recognize a WHS Staff Member

Whether they’ve helped make a difference in person or virtually this year, show your appreciation by participating in our Thank a Teacher program. From May 4 to June 3, any donation you make to the Wayzata Education Fund honoring a teacher or staff will come with a certificate of appreciation from your student. Additionally, if you donate $25 or more, they will also receive a bundlet from Nothing Bundt Cakes Minnetonka. Say thank you and support a good cause at the same time!
