NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Students looking to run home after school in June to intercept their final report card will be out of luck this year. All final report cards for New Rochelle High School students will be posted electronically to the District’s Home Access Center.
The pilot program will be in June 2018 will be used to evaluate the benefits of electronic reporting.
“All students in New Rochelle High School will be participating in this pilot,” said Interim NRHS Vice-Principal Camille Edwards-Thomas. “This will mean that for the final report card of this school year, parents, guardians and students will use the Home Access Center to view report card information rather than receive a printed copy in the traditional way.”
The move to electronic grade reporting comes on the heels of a grade-fixing scandal at the high school where hundreds of grades were improperly changed. The Board of Education received a report from T&M Investigations in October 2018 which was severely limited in its scope and then sat on it for six weeks and then forwarded the report to a unit within BOCES that does not investigate on-line credit recovery programs. That was more than three months and there has to be any announced response from BOCES or the New Rochelle Board of Education.
The school district is asking parents and guardians of New Rochelle High School students to take the following steps:
