To: Richwood High School Students and Parents-Grades 9-11

I pray that you are safe, well and staying home. I also pray that you are staying connected with family and friends during this unprecedented time in our nation and the world. COVID-19 has continued to wreak havoc in our lives and alter the way we take care of business as well as school. It is with this backdrop that I write to update you on where we are as far as completing the 2019-2020 school year.Because this is a unique situation, we will factor students’ final grades in the following manner: Average the grade for each 9 weeks for the final grade. Because some students may have counted on the 4th nine weeks to bring up a marginal grade, the district is offering the following options:

OPTION 1: Accept the grade as it is. (you must log onto Web Pams to see the grades and average them for the final. Contact the teacher if you have a question.)

OPTION 2: Improve the 3rd nine weeks’ grade by completing supplemental work assigned by your teacher for up to 100 bonus point. (Teachers will award the points according to the completeness and effort demonstrate in the assignment.)

Remember this opportunity is available for all classes, but it is up to the individual student to decide to do the work. Please inform your teacher your option by Friday, April 27th.

All bonus work is due by May 12th. Parents, if you have questions and/or concerns please contact your child’s teacher via email.

Effective Tuesday, April 21, teachers will have “OFFICE HOURS” posted on their website which will provide a window when the teacher will be available to address student questions. Teachers have, and will be posting weekly activities that I encourage your child to do. These activities have been developed to fill possible gaps that may exist in student learning.

Bonus activities will be posted on the school Web Pam,  the teacher pages or google classroom.

Thanks for all you do. We miss our students and look forward to seeing them again when it becomes possible.

Assistant Principals: Alvin Fields, Dexter Houston, Joshua Spikes, Donald Winn
