Irvine Unified is one of the first school districts to announce that its students’ grades for the spring classes will not be in their usual format this year.
Schools will give their students credit for meeting the minimum requirements for passing classes. Other districts in California are also thinking about ways to adjust their grading systems to account for an unusual semester. Report Forms often feature the schools' or districts' Logo Design.
All of the 615 schools in Orange County closed on March 13. Educators and students adapted by moving to online classes and many students have been able to keep up. The downside to this strategy is that access to computers and a reliable internet connection is not guaranteed for every student. Teachers may also find it more difficult to give help to individual students.
Irvine Unified shares a school with Tustin Unified, which also sent out word that it will be using a less stringent system for grading. Superintendent Gregory Franklin went on record to say:
“What we’re doing now is not homeschooling - it’s not even distance learning. It’s COVID-19 learning. We are trying to keep kids engaged under very difficult circumstances.”
The temporary grading systems are designed to keep students from cracking under the pressure of expecting to graduate. Students unable to make the minimum requirements will get be given a chance to supplement their grades.
