On April 16th, the Governing Board approved changes to Scottsdale Unified School District’s grading practices that will be implemented in 2013-14 school year. The recommendations were developed by a committee consisting of teachers, parents, administrators and high school students. The committee studied the discrepancies between report card grades and performance on standardized assessments and the inconsistencies in grading practices across the District. In order to develop the recommendations, they studied best practices from experts across the country. The recommendations were designed to improve consistency while increasing academic rigor by focusing on student’s abilities to demonstrate what they have learned. The majority of a student’s grade will be determined based on how well they perform on assessments which include projects, essays, portfolios, tests, etc. This proficiency based system will help us better prepare our students with the knowledge and skills they need to be prepared for higher education and the workforce.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. Andi Fourlis will host two informational meetings this spring for parents and students to learn more about the changes in the grading practices they can expect to see next year. The meetings are scheduled for May 8th and May 20th at 6 p.m. at the Mohave District Annex, 8500 E. Jackrabbit Road, Scottsdale 85250. If you plan to attend one of the meetings, please RSVP to mday@susd.org.
Please be aware that there will be many changes to the bell schedule during the week of May 20th due to the unique requirements of this year's school calendar. All Senior final exams must be completed by Wednesday, May 22nd. Please click here for the Finals Week schedule (Spanish version, click here)

Scottsdale Parent Council's (SPC) purpose is to promote communication and cooperation between representative parent groups, District administration and staff, and to advocate for the highest quality of education for all students attending school in the Scottsdale Unified School District. SPC Board members regularly work on key legislative issues related to education, hold forums with legislators, and act as a voice for quality public education. All of SPC's general meetings are open to the public, and everyone is welcome to attend. During each meeting we discuss legislative issues, learn about what is going on in our schools, and participate in a Question and Answer session with our Superintendent Dr. Peterson. We invite you to come and learn about all of the issues impacting your student and your schools!
