Planning for 2020-2021 School Year

Planning for Next School Year
Just as the state's education office is working to make decisions on what school might look like in the fall, Renton Schools is also is proactively reviewing options for learning and teaching for the 2020-2021 school year, whether it be in person, remote, or some hybrid.

Renton School District has created a steering committee charged with planning our vision of learning and teaching for the 2020-21 school year. The group met recently to begin the challenging work of developing recommendations regarding what learning and teaching should look like for students in various instructional models and how teachers might best support students in those models. The steering committee includes teacher, paraprofessional, parent, and administrator representatives.

In its first meeting, the steering committee:

Reviewed the core values that will guide its work:
- Service: Focus on students and families
- Excellence: Intentionally design learning experiences that meaningfully engage students
- Equity: Recognize/respond to students’ and families’ current realities;
Began to develop a shared vision of the desired outcomes for students, families, and staff;
Discussed the broader learning needs of all students, including those receiving special services like ELL or special education, and recognized the need to ensure those considerations were included in the instructional design;
Discussed the importance of focusing on care and belonging, with attention to the various socio-emotional needs of students (as well as families and students); and
Reviewed more than 300 nominations of staff to serve on the work groups and made recommendations, ensuring every school is represented in the work groups.
Moving forward, the steering committee will discuss potential strategies to engage students and families as part of the process.

Facilitators of the 16 different work groups met to set a vision for their work and how they would lead their groups through the planning process. And today, over 100 teachers joined work groups focused on developing relevant, meaningful learning activities for students.

Grading Process During School Closure

The Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) announced it will adopt emergency rules mandating districts use grades to assess student learning for the purpose of high school credit-bearing courses for the last trimester of the 2019-20 school year. The new rules will require that:

No student receives a “pass,” “fail,” or “no credit” grade for any course.
Teachers assign grades or assign an “incomplete” for students that cannot engage in an equitable way.
Every class taken during the closure period will be given a statewide designator on the high school transcript to denote the unique environment in which the course was taken.
All students will be given an opportunity to engage in continuous learning to maintain or improve their mastery of essential standards.

For students in grades K-8, OSPI stressed that students be challenged to demonstrate effort and success in learning standards established by their teachers.

In alignment with these new requirements and mandates, as well as maintaining flexibility and holding true to notions of equity during these difficult times, the Renton School District will handle student grading as follows:

Elementary Grading

During the school closure, teachers will continue to engage students in continuous learning, as well as provide feedback to families. For 3rd trimester grades, on the final report card, elementary school students will receive an “NA” (Not Assessed During This Reporting Period), as students are not required to turn in assignments. Additionally, a note describing why the “NA” was given will be recorded in the comment section of the report card.

Middle School Grading

For full-year or two-trimester classes, middle school students’ grades will carry forward from 2nd trimester to the final grading period. Students who continue to be engaged in their schoolwork, complete assignments, and show evidence of meeting standards may improve their grade, but students’ grades will not be negatively impacted as a result of the March 17, 2020 school closures.

For middle school classes that are one trimester (e.g., health), students will either be given a standards-based grade (4-3-2-1) or will be given an “NA” (Not Assessed During This Reporting Period) based on engagement and completion of assignments.

For middle school students taking a high school credit-bearing course, please see section on High School Grading.

High School Grading

High school students and middle school students earning high school credits (e.g., Algebra, Geometry, Spanish I) will be graded in the following manner for the third trimester of the 2019-2020 school year:

Letter Grades (A through D):
- Students will complete assignments, activities, and assessments.At the end of the course, students will receive a traditional letter grade on their high school transcript.
- Attendance will not be a factor when determining student grades.
- If students are unable to complete enough work for the course to earn a letter grade in accordance with the teacher’s grading practice, then the student will earn an Incomplete (I) on their transcript.

Incomplete (I):
- The Incomplete will be converted to a letter grade by one of the following: contract with the teacher to establish assignments or assessments which must be completed by an agreed upon timeline; taking the course in the following year; completing an online course.
- Students who did not engage in the class at all via remote learning shall retake the class or complete the class as online credit recovery.
- We will establish further guidelines on the conversion of incompletes to letter grades A-D.

For students with grading accommodations in Individual Education Plans (IEPs), pass/fail will require a change in the Continuous Learning Plan (CLP) from pass/fail to pass/incomplete. IEP case managers will contact families to reflect this change.

Another consideration during this time is access and resources for students and families. It is not our intention to have students penalized for inability to access online coursework. While we have been able to provide Chromebooks and hot spots to many, we realize that an increased demand for technology supports is likely. We will continue to contact families, particularly those of students who haven’t yet engaged, to identify and remove barriers to access.

Moving forward, Superintendent Damien Pattenaude has encouraged staff to remain responsive to our students’ and families’ needs. Furthermore, at the end of the term, staff will use grace as they determine grades or the plan of action a student might have to consider should their grade be an “I”.

Should you have any questions regarding grades, please contact your child’s principal.

The Renton School District will continue to provide updates via email as well as on our District Website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Childcare for First Responders and Essential Health Care Workers

Washington Governor Jay Inslee has directed school districts to work to provide free childcare services for children kindergarten-5^th grade whose caretakers are first responders and essential health care workers. We recently surveyed our families to determine those who fall into these important life-supporting categories and are in need of this childcare assistance.

Following the governor’s directions, have created a service for these professionals. If you fall into the category of first responders or essential health care worker and did not have a chance to respond to the survey, please contact community.relations@rentonschools.us. Space is limited; and we can only provide this service to those in the life-care categories.

Who is a first responder?
A person who works for police, fire, paramedics, etc.

Who is an essential health care worker?
A person who works for a medical facility, including at nursing homes, doctor’s offices, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, adult family homes, etc.

Class of 2020 FAQs

Class of 2020 FAQ’s

How do I meet graduation requirements?

See graduation requirements for the Class of 2020.

The basic requirements are:

22 total credits in specific areas
Meeting graduation pathways requirements in ELA and Mathematics
High School & Beyond Plan
WA State History requirement
Community Service (this requirement can be waived by the principal or designee - see request form on your high school website)

Seniors should be working on assignments, activities, or project-based learning projects as outlined by their teachers to earn a letter grade in your classes. Counselors are continuing to reach out to seniors to make personalized plans toward graduation. Seniors are welcome to contact their teachers and counselors if they have any questions about their graduation status.

What does it mean to be on track to graduate? How do I know if I’m on track to graduate?

If you were on track to graduate, you will still graduate this spring. “On-track to graduate” means that you have successfully completed or are enrolled in courses that would allow you to meet state graduation requirements by the end of this year. Counselors will continue to contact seniors who are off track for graduation. Please reach out to your counselor if you have any questions or concerns.

How will I be graded?

Teachers will be grading on a letter grade system of A-D or give an I – Incomplete. Teachers will establish grading rubrics in alignment with their content departments.

What happens if I get an incomplete?

Please work with your counselor to understand how getting an incomplete would affect your ability to graduate and what alternatives there are.

Do I continue Running Start or online courses?

Yes, please continue to take and complete all Running Start and online courses that you had already started before the school closure or began after the school closure.

Is state testing canceled? What if I was planning on taking a state test to meet a graduation requirement?

Yes, state testing has been canceled due to the school closure. In Washington State there are many ways that you can meet the state assessment requirement for graduation. Your school counselor will be connecting with you if you need to meet this requirement to discuss what other options are available.

Can credits be waived for the class of 2020?

The district applied for and was granted the ability to waive credits on an emergency basis. These requests will go through your counselor at a later date and if granted will show up on your transcript as “waived”. While credits may be waived, graduation pathway requirements cannot.

I was planning to take the World Language Credit by Proficiency exam. Will this be rescheduled? What about the Seal of Biliteracy?

World Language exams will not be held this spring. Seniors should check with their counselors if they believe they need World Language credit for graduation or college entrance purposes as many colleges have indicated they are relaxing their entrance requirement rules this spring. Students who have earned the Seal of Biliteracy will still receive it on their diploma.

What if I was planning on taking a state assessment to meet a graduation requirement?

Students with Disabilities Family Letter, March 17, 2020

March 17, 2020

Dear Families of Students with Disabilities,

As Renton School District works to support our families and community during this exceptionally challenging time, we want to assure you that the needs of exceptional learners are being taken into consideration. The Federal Government and the State of Washington are currently developing guidance for the provision of special education services during school closures and changes to education models as a result of COVID-19. We are monitoring the development of guidance carefully and we are committed to partnering with you through frequent communication.

Currently, please note the following information was shared by Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI):

“Districts should also consider ways to use distance technology (e.g., Zoom, conference calls) to the extent possible to provide child find, hold initial and annual IEP meetings, and/or evaluation/eligibility meetings, if staff and parents are available but not able to attend in person. Continuing to complete IEP and evaluation/eligibility meetings will help decrease the workload when school resumes. If staff and/or parents are not available or believe their participation is impacted by the lack of an in-person meeting, districts should document the reason and complete the activity in a timely manner following the ending of school closures.”

Accordingly, our IEP and evaluation teams are in the process of setting up virtual meetings with families. You may be contacted by staff to schedule a special education team meeting via phone or video conference.

Your student’s individual needs are very important to the Renton School District team. We are not providing services to students during this closure. We plan to meet with IEP teams, including families, when school resumes to address student specific needs resulting from the closure. If you have questions or concerns about your student’s services at this time, please do not hesitate to contact our Special Education Department at 425-204-2280.

We will be providing ongoing communication to keep you informed as guidance is updated.

As ever, we are appreciative of our Renton School District community and stand with you in support of your children during this very challenging time.

Students with Disabilities Family Letter, March 30, 2020

Students with Disabilities Family Letter, April 15, 2020

April 15, 2020

Dear Families,

Last week following the announcement of school closure through the end of the 2019-2020 school year, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) provided updated guidance to school districts regarding special education services. OSPI provided to school districts a “Continuous Learning Plan” form for districts to use with all families of students with disabilities. The Continuous Learning Plan is like a mini-IEP to guide staff and families during the closure of schools. Special education staff will be contacting you in the next few days to develop this plan together. Below are items for families to think about in helping to develop the Continuous Learning Plan.

Anticipated needs given in-home learning
Goals from the IEP to focus on
Services from the IEP to be provided remotely
Family needs and communication preferences
- Needs: device(s), internet, materials, other
- Type of communication: email, phone, video
- Time and day of communication: morning or afternoon
- Frequency of communication: weekly, every other week, monthly

To be as efficient as possible to quickly transition to implementation, your student’s IEP case manager will email you a draft plan for your review and input. Email response to case manager:

No changes
Request changes
Request opportunity to discuss via phone or video conference

We have a quick turnaround with goal to have all Continuous Learning Plans completed by April 29^th. If you have any questions about this process or plan for your student, please email your student’s IEP case manager. If you have any questions you believe require district level assistance email Special Education

This message will also be available in Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.
