Cornerstone now called Educate 
Educate is the Student Information System wherein student grades are entered by teachers. Parent access enables parents to see weekly progress on exit tickets, tests, homework, classwork etc.
The grade book and therefore the report card this year will be very different from prior years. The report card will reflect the numerical grade along with a list of standards that were worked on by the teacher during that quarter.
The overall grade will be number and the standards will be using a rubric score of 1-4.  For the first quarter the standard rubric score will reflect the exit ticket used by teachers at the end of a class.
Parent access to Educate will be available this week from Alan in the office. Parents may call him at 212-567-3190 or see him in the office before 3:00 PM. Parents may also send an email to Mr. Woods at olqm1@aol.com and it will be forwarded to Alan.
