In the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), educators are required to submit preliminary grade assessments at specific points during the academic year. These submissions, often referred to as tentative grades, serve as indicators of student progress before final grades are calculated. The precise deadlines for these submissions are determined by the district’s academic calendar and communicated to school staff.
The timely submission of these preliminary assessments provides several benefits. It allows teachers to identify students who may be struggling and to implement interventions designed to improve academic performance. Furthermore, it provides students and parents with an early indication of academic standing, fostering open communication and enabling proactive steps to address any learning gaps. These deadlines also contribute to a structured grading process, ensuring that final grades are accurate and reflective of student achievement throughout the entire grading period.
