ENCORE teachers will be entering at least 3-4 grades in Aspen during a nine-week grading period for students. The number of grades and the times they are entered will vary, depending on the teacher and the number of times students attend ENCORE classes.  Other factors that may impact the number of grades entered are snow days, longer-term projects and school events that may adjust the ENCORE schedule.  ENCORE teachers use assessments regularly to check for student mastery of objectives and progress throughout the nine-week grading period.  Please check periodically to see grades that are entered.  ENCORE teachers are asked to contact parents if a student is not making satisfactory progress.
