Dear St. Anthony of Padua Families,
We hope this note finds you well! We have heard some concerns about grading and wanted to take a moment to assure you that Music and PE are being graded in the same format for this third trimester. We are both working together to make sure that Music and PE follow the same format to make it easier on you!
Music and PE have always been graded with Participation as the most important part of the grade, and that is still how we are grading in this online trimester (if the student completed their work, they will receive credit). Students will either be given an A, B, or C (Or an O, G, or S in grades K-2) this trimester as their final grade on the 3rd trimester’s Final Report Card. Please note that due to the circumstances of COVID-19, there will be no grade under a C once final grades are in report cards. As Music and PE teachers, we encourage students to move, exercise, sing, and have some fun every day, but this should not be a source of stress for you or the students!
As a reminder, students can receive their Participation grades for Music and PE by EITHER attending a Zoom session during the week, OR completing the assignment assigned. To receive credit, they only need to do one or the other, NOT BOTH!
The Zoom sessions are listed below! Please see your Google Classroom or class email for the links and passwords. (They are the same each week). Your assignments are posted on the blogs each week (on our school website at www.stanthonygardena.org) as well as on SeeSaw (K-2 Music) and Google Classroom for Grades 3-8!

Next week (May 26), will be the final week of classes for Music and PE and the last week new assignments will be assigned. The following week (June 1) will be a make-up week. No new assignments will be assigned, but students will have the opportunity to come on Zoom to make-up any of the previous assignments. 8th Graders, your make-up work for Music and PE will be due on Monday, June 1, 2020.
We look forward to continuing working with your students in the last part of the trimester. God Bless you all and happy almost summer!
God Bless,
Mrs. Jessica Garcia (Music)
Mrs. Monica Rubalcava (PE)
