Grades

While the transition to distance learning occurs, the District has updated its grading policy.  In order to protect its students, the District is requiring teachers to use a modified 2-4 grading scale for their Spring grades for all elementary school students.  As such, the following updates have been made to MiSiS: 

• The grade of ‘1’ has been removed and will not be available for selection when entering grades for the Academic and ELD Subject areas. 
• The mark of ‘N/A’ has been made available as an option for every content standard in the Academic Subject areas, except English Language Arts. 
• The validation, which prevents teachers from reporting the mark of ‘N/A’ in all three Grading Periods to any content standard of the Visual and Performing Arts subject area, has been removed.  Teachers now have the option to select ‘N/A’ in Grading Period 3, even if an ‘N/A’ was reported in Grading Period 1 and 2 to any particular content standard in the Visual and Performing Arts subject area. 

Elementary School Scheduling

The elementary rollover process has been completed for the 2020-2021 school year. Continuing students have been rolled over into the next grade level.  Schools may now create new sections and assign to teachers and students for the next year.  Refer to the Elementary Rollover and Scheduling Process on the MiSiS website under the job aids link – https://achieve.lausd.net/Page/5659.
