Yearbook:
We have distributed all the yearbooks to students who ordered one. If your child is interested in purchasing a yearbook we still have some left. The cost is $20.00. Please email me and I will deliver a yearbook to your house. Checks can be made out to Whitin Intermediate School.
In addition, we have set up a link for students to electronically sign each other’s yearbooks. Please share this link with your children. I will also be emailing the students with the link.

Trimester 3 grading and report cards:
A reminder about report cards. Report cards will be mailed home the week of June 15th.
Grade 4 & 5: Students will receive a narrative summary from their teachers on how they progressed this year and their participation in remote learning. Students will not receive ratings on each standard on the report card.
Grade 6 & 7: All students will receive a CR (credit) for trimester 3 for each subject. Students will not be given a letter grade for any subject on the report card for trimester 3. Teachers will provide comments on how students completed remote learning in each subject. End of year final grades will be calculated based on trimester 1 and 2 grades and bumped up if a student has completed all or most remote learning assignments and has participated in vertical learning opportunities. Students' grades will not be lowered due to lack of remote learning completion.
