Academic Check-ins at Home - REFLECT

1. Compare your student’s “current” course grades to their grade “goal” in each class.
Navigate to the “Progress” tab and view your student’s grades on the right.
* If your student has not set a grade “goal” for each class yet, click the “College” icon on the left column and follow the prompts to set grade goals.

Discussion questions:
● Are you currently meeting your goals in each class?
● Where are there gaps between your goals and your current grades?

2. Understand current course grades and identify how they can be improved.
Click on the course title from the “Week” page to see the grade breakdown for each class.

If a student is missing a Project, their grade
will be an “Incomplete,” which means they are
currently failing the course.
Why
If a student’s Cognitive Skills are below 70%, their
grade will be an Incomplete. Cognitive Skills are
worth 70% of the final grade. The blue number on
the Summit Learning Platform is the Cognitive
Skill score. These expectations change for every
grade level.
If there is a red Focus Area to the left of the blue
pacing line on the “Year” page,the student’s grade
will be an Incomplete. Power Focus Areas are
worth 21% of the student’s final grade.
Additional Focus Areas are worth 9% of the
student’s final grade. The highest possible
grade without any Additional Focus Areas is
91%. Green Content Assessments to the left
of the line mean the student is on track to
pass all.

Click to the “year” page to see which Project
is red. Click the Project for more information.
Action Make a plan for your student to turn in the
missing Project or get help if they need it.
Help your student email the teacher to make a plan
to revise the lowest Cognitive Skills. Sometimes
they will revise by doing better in the next Project.
Sometimes they will revise by working on a part of
the old Project.
Click the red Focus Area to see what the student has to learn. Make a plan for your student to study
the resources at home, including being able to show you notes for each objective. Make a plan for
your student to take the Content Assessment at school during Self-Directed Learning (SDL) Time.

● What goals did your child set for the week?
● Which goals did your child meet this week (blue)?Ask your child “What strategies did you use to meet these goals?”
● Which goals did your child not meet (green)? Ask your child, “Why do you think you did not meet these goals?”
