Good Afternoon and Happy Halloween,

Next week, all students will complete the Graduate Profile Self-Assessment Rubric remotely via Otus. This rubric helps students reflect on the essential skills and qualities every Weld Re-3J graduate works to develop—beyond academics. It’s about becoming a capable, confident, and community-minded individual, prepared for college, career, and life after high school.

Purpose

The Graduate Profile is designed to help students:

• Understand their strengths and areas for growth
• Set goals for continued development
• Demonstrate skills valued by employers and colleges

Process

• Students K-12 will attend a brief remote meeting with their teacher on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
  • During this meeting, teachers will explain the intent and purpose of the rubric and how the data will be used to support student growth.
  • After the short presentation, students will log in to Otus and complete their self-assessment.
• Upon completion of the meeting and rubric, Thursday’s Edmentum assignments will be made exempt.
• Students will complete this self-assessment twice each year—once in October/early November and again prior to parent-teacher conferences in February.
• Teachers will meet individually with students to review results and offer guidance for growth.
• In May, teachers will complete final rubric ratings, which will be included on report cards.

Through this ongoing reflection process, students take ownership of their learning and growth—developing the skills that will serve them well beyond graduation.

Stay safe and enjoy the beautiful fall weekend.
