RE:  Finishing up the 2019-20 school year

On Tuesday, May 19 and Wednesday, May 20 there will be two time periods each day, 8:00-10:00 AM and 5:00-7:00 PM, when students will have an opportunity to take care of end-of-year details.  

Following the directives of the state and county health department guidelines and out of concern for your well-being and others,  if you are or were recently ill; or if you have been with others who have been ill or traveled overseas we respectfully request that you make other arrangements to address these end-of-year details. 

So that these details can be completed in a socially-distanced and efficient manner we are scheduling 15-minute time periods when 10 students (no parents) will be admitted through the Commons door entrance.  Please feel free to pick a time that can accommodate your family’s schedule. You must reserve a time period at https://www.myconferencetime.com/luther/schedule/406107.

Thank you for your understanding and compliance with these guidelines.

DAILY GRADES:  Many students and parents may be wondering if Luther High School will continue to use letter grades for the current semester or move to a pass/fail grading system.

The faculty has evaluated how online learning is affecting all of our students. We realize the transition is different for each student.   Based on the faculty’s assessment of academic progress at the recent marking period, the majority of students have either maintained or improved their grades during this safer at home period.   For those who have found this to be even more of a challenge, instructors are making additional efforts to provide academic assistance.  We will continue to monitor how this transition is going for each of our students. Students and parents can help us to that end by informing the specific instructor of questions, comments and concerns.  Luther High School will continue to use letter grades.   Your continued understanding, assistance and prayers are needed and appreciated.    

SEMESTER EXAMS:  Luther High School will not have semester exams for the second semester of the 2019-20 school year.  Due to the fact

Dear Parents,

It has truly been a wild ride this week dealing with the closing of school and moving forward with online classes. In an effort to keep you as informed as possible, below is a list of key information you need to know about online learning at Luther.

1. When – online classes for Luther High School will begin on Monday, March 23^rd.

2. What - Students will need to check in with their teachers each day to see what they need to be working on in each class. Some teachers have decided to meet at specific times each day with their class. Other teachers will be posting assignments each day for their students. Each teacher has determined how his/her classroom will work during the next few weeks.
