I'm not an Adele fan, but I'd like to quote her for today:
"Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavement, even if it leads nowhere..."
This was today's anthem, I felt like giving up from this daunting task. And it has been an anthem just career-wise for the past 6 months, it feels like.
Well, depending on TPTB, the gridlock in 7th and 8th grade may be solved. I was able to work on 9th grade today and so far the matrix has been created for 6th to 9th. Moreso, the matrix has been created so that the electives do not dictate grouping for the core-classes. Of course, this could all change depending on the re-check-up for Math, Science and Spanish as well as the Feeder schools.
First up, was checking all the final grades from Biology and Chemistry, then all the grades from Algebra 1 and from Geometry. It was quite headache inducing. However, numbers look like they have changed for Algebra 1A, Algebra 1B and Geometry. I just finished printing all the grades for Spanish and Korean and will be working on them tomorrow as well as Algebra 2 and Trig and seniors. It's not fun having to re-check all the student's course requests all over again but it has to be done. Specially for the seniors!
Next was checking on the grades from our Feeder schools, Young Oak Kim, Berendo, Virgil and all the other middle schools. So, there is a snafu in that none of the second semester grades are in from any schools. Furthermore, no grades for the entire year has come from Young Oak Kim. The entire 8th grade year is completely blank for YOKA. I called YOKA and none of their administrator will be in until August and the clerical staff said they didn't know how to do it. At Hamilton and Westchester, it's always been a clerical function. What is it with Local District 4 that basic clerical function cannot be done by clerical staff? I ran a week after we went off and there was nothing to it. I was so frustrated and even said I could walk them through it. They were no help. So I call SIS and they said that the administrators from the schools have to run a simple SIS program called TR22. I don't understand how all the middle schools could have goofed up such an important process.
