FUSD Announces New Grading Policy For The Remainder Of The School Year

Schools in the Flagstaff Unified School District are closed for the rest of the school year, but students continue schooling online due to the coronavirus pandemic. The district is making adjustments to the school calendar related to the current situation. Student grades for the second semester of the 2019-2020 school year will be calculated based on third quarter grades, resubmitted past assignments and the completion of new assignments the rest of the semester. Grades will not be lowered from the posted third quarter grade, they can only be improved. For secondary students, these grades will be used to issue full credits for the second semester of the school year, meet graduation requirements and award diplomas to senior students. Statewide assessments for students are canceled for the school year, which includes AzMz, AIMS Science, MSAA and AZELLA. ACT and SAT testing is also canceled, but the ACT has rescheduled the test for June 13th. Graduation ceremonies are postponed at this time. For more information, log onto fusd1.org.
