The WVDE task force, which included representation from Mingo County, has released several COVID-19 -Closure guidance pieces regarding distance learning, grading, credit recovery, and much more. One part of the guidance recommends that a student’s final grade not be diminished by submissions, non-submissions, and/or performance of/on NTI assignments. The completed and graded NTI work can, however, enhance a student’s final grade. The consensus among the Districts was the final 3rd nine-weeks grade would be the minimum grade a student could receive for the 4th nine-weeks or for the 2nd semester.
Mingo County will follow these guidelines in determining grades during the COVID-19 closure:
There could be several possible reasons students may not submit, or even be able to submit NTI assignments during the COVID-19 closure. Those students will be given through the end of the third full week of our return to school, whether this year or next, to submit assignments. If students don’t return until the new school year, the assigning teachers will grade the work and recalculate the previous final grade and submit to the office for a grade change on WVEIS.
Weekly food distribution for students will continue each Wednesday from 12-1pm. Five-day meal packages will be available for curbside pick-up at the following schools:
Pick-up will be curb side. For the safety of all, no one will be permitted to exit any vehicle on school property. Volunteers will go to each vehicle and ask for the total number of students to be served. Meals will be passed through the vehicle's window. We appreciate your compliance with safety measures and thank you for your patience.
Important Note
The District will monitor the availability of employees and other resources and may adjust service methods and schedules as appropriate. Staff volunteers are welcome in small numbers to comply with safety recommendations from local, state and federal health agencies. Principals will coordinate volunteer staff.
