2nd Grade Families, 

 
Thank you for your patience regarding remote learning. We are doing our best to 
help all families implement a structure that will work well specifically for you. CPS 
came out with the official Q
​ 4 Grading Policy​ and we have summarized the most 
important elements below: 
 
● Students completing work consistently will receive a letter grade NO 
LOWER than their Q3 grade. 
● If a student is currently receiving a letter grade which is lower than their 
third quarter grade, it will be changed to a “pass” for the fourth quarter.  
● Any student who is unable to complete remote learning for the fourth 
quarter will receive an “incomplete”.  
 
We will use the following assignments to grade student work:  
 
Reading: ​ Keep up the reading an hour a day- this can be a combination 
of Independent reading + Epic/Raz Kids. Look for assigned books on Raz 
Kids or Epic for small group/book club work. I will be checking for 
student progress and looking at quiz reports on those sites. R
​ EADING 
GRADES​ will consist of completion of google forms, participation in at 
least one Google Meet book club/small group, and completion of one 
note-catcher (found on google classroom under book clubs) a week for 

book clubs.
