Parents and Guardians,
We want to inform you that the Minneapolis Public School District has decided to go back to Quarter Grading. With Quarter Grading, your students will be receiving four Quarter grades and four Mid-Quarter grades.
Mid-Quarter grades are grades that would reflect your students’ anticipated grade five weeks into the Quarter. For the first Mid-Quarter grade (Oct 5, 2011), of this school year, Southwest has decided to send out all Mid-Quarter grades for our parents and students. This is only an update of your students’ grades for the first five weeks of school. For the remaining three mid-term grade reporting we will only send out grades of D’s and F’s to advise parents and students of potential failures.
Mid-term grades for the rest of the school year will be mailed to you during the weeks of: Dec. 12; Feb 27th ; and May 14.
Quarter grades will be mailed to you during the weeks of: Nov. 7; Jan. 24; April 2 and June 11.
Please remember that current grades are always available on the Parent Portal. For information about passwords or Parent Portal registration, please call Ryan Moe at 612-668-3039
We are hoping these Mid-Quarter grades will be a useful tool for upcoming conferences, which will be held on October 18 from 4-8 and October 19 from 9-4:45pm.

I would love, love, LOVE to see you do a blog on how to motivate unmotivated students who have given up and teach them good study skills. I'm lost on what to do. Truly lost. And her counselor won't call me back it seems. I would love to read your ideas.
