Quality Work Plan Fall 2020

.

Dear Scholar and Family,

    The start of the school year is quickly approaching and we are excitedly preparing for Term 1.  At the start of the school year, scholars may decide that they would like to improve their letter grade from Term 2 of the 2019-20 school year through the use of a Quality Work Plan. The Quality Work Plan process will remain the same as in previous years, except it will be completed with the teacher virtually and submitted to Mrs. Riley via email.

In reference to Quality Work Plans, the DLA Handbook states:

In addition, at Del Lago it is our expectation that our scholars will continually strive to improve and produce the high quality work we know they are capable of. Scholars will have the opportunity to raise a letter grade on any competency throughout the term. Scholars who earn a final passing grade of B or C at the term, but do not believe their performance represents their best capabilities, will be allowed to petition their teacher to request a Quality Work Plan. These plans are only available to those who did not receive a NM as their final grade. For those wishing to improve a final grade from first term, the plan must be submitted by the second Friday after school begins in August. The teacher may or may not elect to approve the plan, based on the scholar’s effort to improve their letter grade throughout the previous term. If the teacher, parent, administrator, and counselor/social worker approve the plan, the student will complete the work outlined on the Quality Work Plan and be assigned a new grade for the course. If the scholar leaves Del Lago, or the contract expires, the course grade will be recorded as the grade the student would have originally received at the end of the term.

Guidelines for Quality Work Plans:

The plan must be created by the teacher with input from the student. This can be done by email, phone, or a Teams/Zoom meeting.

A copy of the plan must be submitted via email to Mrs. Riley, the Academic Dean [email protected] no later than Friday, September 4, 2020.

    • Include the course teacher (cc’d) on the email when submitting to Mrs. Riley
    • If you end the term with a NM in a course you are not eligible for a Quality Work Plan in that course.
    • The plan must have a deadline for completion set by the teacher. There will be no extensions.
    • Quality Work Plans are created at the discretion of the teacher.

 
Questions or concerns can be directed to myself.

Thank you,
