Dear WGIS Families,
November is off to a great start at WGIS! We started our second marking period which means grades for our first marking period have been submitted and will be available to parents and student via SchoolTool at 5pm today (Friday). Our grade reporting at WGIS is on a 4 point scale and is based on how students are performing on targeted NYS learning standards. Any student that scores a "3" or better has achieved proficiency on that standard. A "2" would indicate that a student is close to proficiency but just needs a little more time.
When you look at the report card, I would encourage you to look at it as a momentary snapshot of how your student is performing relative to the standards they are working on this year. Standards being assessed now will continue to be assessed moving forward and our goal for all students is to continue to grow throughout the year. If you have any questions regarding grades, please reach out to your students teachers for clarification.
As always, thank you for your continued partnership with our school to make sure all of our students find success at WGIS. We are having a great school year and are looking forward to a great November!
Be Kind-Work Hard-Think BIG!
It's a great day to be a wildcat!
Mr. MacCollum
