  • Need help with an assignment?  Mr. DeGrandis has office hours on Zoom after class. Just let him know you need some time!

  • HOW WILL I BE GRADED 4th MARKING PERIOD?
    From the Deputy Superintendent of the RCSD:

    Pass with Distinction (PD) – grade equivalent of 85-100
    Pass (P) – grade equivalent of 65-84
    Incomplete (I) – grade equivalent of 0-64

    For students in grades 6-12, final course grades will be based on a holistic review of student progress before and after we began remote learning. Each classroom teacher will determine if students demonstrated an understanding of course standards."
