The Slaton ISD Wellness Center remains CLOSED

The CDC requires specialized sanitation to prevent the spread of COVID-19 immediately following the use of the equipment.

SISD Wellness Center is an unmanned facility and cannot meet those guidelines. 

For these reasons the Slaton ISD Wellness Center will remain closed until further notice.

We will not be collecting monthly membership dues during this time.

The Slaton Independent School District is committed to keeping our community and staff safe.

We will reopen as soon as it is safe!

Thank you for your understanding.

Slaton ISD standard grading protocols remains in effect during the COVID-19 school suspension with the following adjustments:

• 1^st Semester Grades (9 weeks 1&2) remain.
• 3^rd 9 weeks grading period was complete on March 13, 2020.Passing 3^rd 9 weeks grades remain.
• 4^th 9 weeks grades will mirror passing 3^rd 9 weeks grades and result in the 2^nd Semester Credit

• A student in grades 9–12, or in a lower grade when a student is enrolled in a high school credit-bearing course, will earn credit for a course only if the final grade is 70 or above. For a two-semester (1 credit) course, the student’s grades from both semesters will be averaged and credit will be awarded if the combined average is 70 or above. Should the student’s combined average be less than 70, the student will be required to retake the semester in which he or she failed. Retaking the failed courses will consist of either repeating the class or online credit recovery which will be determined by the counselor or principal.

• Student did not earn a passing grade for the 3^rd 9 weeks:
  • If that grade was 55 or above, they will have an opportunity to complete a mastery packet that exhibits foundational mastery over failed concepts.If successfully completed the student will receive a 70 for the 3^rd and 4^th 9 weeks.
  • If that grade was below a 54 or lower, they will receive a failing grade for the 3^rd and 4^th 9 weeks and not receive credit for that semester.
  • Elementary and Junior High students will have a grade placement meeting with the Parent, classroom Teacher(s) and campus Principal.

For student taking Dual Credit courses:

• Grading policies remain in effect and 2^nd semester grades will be determined at the end of the 4^th 9 weeks.

Tiger families,

There are a lot of things that have changed in our routines over the past weeks.  Hopefully this grading protocol will give you assurance that tigers are receiving credit for their work.  If you have any question regarding your student’s grade(s), please contact your campus principal for a more complete explanation of how your child’s grade may be affected.
