Assembly Bill 104: Pass or No Pass Grade Change Request
Families, Assembly Bill 104 includes provisions in the area of student retention, pass/no pass grades, and local graduation requirements exemption. Specifically, this bill allows high school students to change their letter grades to a Pass or No Pass grade on their transcripts for the 2020-2021 school year. Students will have 15 days from the day of notice to request a grade change. AB 104 states that school districts shall not honor grade change requests after 15 days. School districts will have 15 days from the day the grade change application is received to change the transcript and notify the pupil and the pupil's parent/guardian of the change. For MPUSD students, you must submit notice via the form below to your school counselor no later than Wednesday, August 25, 2021. Requirements for Student Retention Students in grades K-11 (2020-2021) who received deficient grades (D, F, or equivalent) in one half of their coursework. Seniors (Class of 2021) are excluded from this provision. Parents wanting to consult on retention may contact the Educational Services Department, email cpeck@mpusd.k12.ca.us Requirements for Pass/No Pass Grades High School students enrolled in the 2020-2021 school year may request to have a letter grade replaced with a Pass/No Pass. Once the grade change request form is released from the California Department of Education, we will provide the form to families and place it on our website on or after July 31, 2021. Exemption of Local Graduation Requirements In 2020-21, students who were in their 3rd or 4th year of high school and who are not on track to graduate in four years from our district’s 230 graduation credit requirements will consult with their academic counselor and be provided with an opportunity to complete the statewide coursework requirements (including a fifth year of instruction or opportunities for credit recovery). If you are interested in any of these three options, please contact the Education Services Department at 831-645-1200. Request Form Complete this FORM to request to move from a letter grade to a pass/no pass for the school year 2020-2021 no later than Wednesday, August 25, 2021.

Notification of Enrollment Options for the 2021-2022...
MPUSD Families, We look forward to welcoming students and staff in-person, five days a week for the 2021-2022 school year, which begins Wednesday, August 4, 2021. We want to make you aware that Assembly Bill 130 requires MPUSD to notify parents and guardians of enrolled students that they have the option to enroll their child in in-person instruction or Independent Study ( MPUSD’s Digital Academy ) for the 2021-2022 school year. We messaged this information out to families in mid to late June, but want to ensure that all families are aware of this option. Conference Parents and guardians have the right to request a pupil-parent-educator conference to ask questions before making the decision about enrollment or disenrollment in the various options for learning. The conference may be conducted by telephone, videoconference or in-person. If you wish to request a conference for your pupil, please contact Rachelle Guiott at rguiott@mpusd.k12.ca.us or 831.392.3511, preferably by Friday, July 23, 2021. Procedures for Enrolling, Disenrolling and Reenrolling in MPUSD’s Digital Academy To enroll in MPUSD’s Digital Academy for the 2021-2022 school year, there must be an agreement in place for each student. The agreement must be signed by the student’s parent, legal guardian, or caregiver. For students with exceptional needs, the individualized education program (IEP) or 504 must specifically provide for independent study and/or MPUSD’s Digital Academy before the student can begin participating. If you wish to have your student return to in-person instruction during the school year, you may provide notice to the contact information provided below, and your student will be returned to in-person instruction no later than five instructional days after we receive the notice. Students may re-enroll in Digital Academy at any time during the 2021-2022 school year by providing notice to Rachelle Guiott (contact information below). Instructional Time that a Pupil Will Have Access to as Part of MPUSD’s Digital Academy For transitional kindergarten through 3rd grade, there will be a plan to provide students opportunities for daily synchronous instruction. For grades 4 through 8, there will be a plan to provide opportunities for both daily live interaction and at least weekly synchronous instruction. For grades 9 through 12, there will be a plan to provide opportunities for at least weekly synchronous instruction. Live interaction means interaction between the student and the teacher, aide or other personnel and may include peers; this interaction may be in person, by internet or phone. Synchronous instruction means classroom-style instruction, or small group, or one-on-one instruction delivered by computer or phone and involving two-way communication between the student and teacher. Visit MPUSD’s website at www.mpusd.net/mpusddigitalacademy/ to learn more and see sample schedules. If you are interested in the MPUSD’s Digital Academy for your pupil or pupils, or wish to schedule a conference with staff, please contact us at the phone number or e-mail address below: Rachelle Guiott rguiott@mpusd.k12.ca.us 831.392.3511
