November: Principal's Message

Dear Parents/Guardians-

It is hard to believe that it is already November.  It seems like the seasons this year went from summer to winter and we missed fall.  It also means that we are midway to the end of the first semester. Teachers created progress reports in your child’s online grade book. Please keep in mind that the grades shown on this progress report can be misleading.  Your child may well have an “A” in a class.  However, this “A” may be based on only 1 or 2 assessments that s/he has turned in so far, when really 8 or 9 assessments should be turned in according to the planner.  Some teachers may put in temporary zeros to give you a more accurate picture of your student’s grade.

Teachers will take a snapshot of the grade book on Monday, November 9 for the progress reports.  Progress reports with comments will be available at the end of the day on Friday, November 13. You can access the progress report by going to your child’s grade book. Click on the link dated November 9, 2020 on the right hand side of the screen to view it.  If you have any questions, be sure to contact your child’s WCA teacher.

I also want to thank the families that were involved in screening / benchmarking this fall. With all the changes that 2020 has brought to our routines, the flip to virtual screening was no exception. We realize there were a few bumps along the way but are grateful for all your patience through this new process. The staff and I truly appreciate everything that you need to do to make sure the students participate at their scheduled  screening times. It was great seeing the students and learning more about them.

Together, we can make a difference and open the door to a world of possibilities for all of our students at Wisconsin Connections Academy. 

Sincerely, 

Michelle Mueller
