The Department of Education released the new Grading Policy or remote learning last week. It will mean NUMERIC GRADES as per usual for transcripts for Stuyvesant High School for the final marking period. If you have not done so already, please read the policy HERE. It is also posted on the school website. There is a family guide you can read here. The DOE Family site has many languages available in addition to Chinese, Bengali, Korean, Russian and Spanish.
Our Departments at Stuyvesant have reviewed their own grading policies and updated them for remote learning. Please note that there are some departments with NO CHANGE to their grading policies. You may view their policies on the school website under the “Academics” tab by choosing the corresponding department.
Math - Please note the following change to what you see in the policy online:
All math classes will be 75% Assessments and 25% Classwork/Homework/Participation for MP3. This is a change for geometry, algebra 2, and pre-calculus, which used to have 20% as Regents or Final exam.
