How is Edgenuity used in Shakopee Schools
-
Edgenuity courses are primarily used for credit recovery in the Shakopee School District. Students participating in the SHS Credit
Recovery Program are supported by licensed teachers who help guide students through each of their Edgenuity courses by providing
direct instruction, feedback on assignments, writing submissions, labs, and activities, and by unlocking quizzes and tests.- Credit Recovery/Summer School courses are graded as Pass/Fail. To earn a passing grade, students must complete all
required coursework activities at a 70% standard or better - Whenever possible and appropriate, students are assigned PRETESTING courses, which allow students to test out of content
that they have previously learned. Students must pass the pre-tests with 80% or better to test out of the previously learned
content. - Students are highly encouraged to work on Edgenuity outside of class time. They may complete lessons, guided notes,
assignments, labs, typed work, reviews, and quizzes at home.- All tests must be proctored by the student’s teacher.
- If a quiz or test becomes locked, the student will need to redo the instruction and/or review. Additionally, the
student might be asked to complete the guided notes for the lesson(s) leading up to the locked quiz or test.
Quizzes and tests become locked after two attempts below 70%.
- Students may use their own typed notes, guided notes, glossary, etc., on quizzes and tests, EXCEPT for pre-tests.
- Students are expected to maintain academic integrity. They may use Edgenuity tools and personal notes on assignments
and quizzes. However, they are not permitted to use the internet to seek and find answers to quizzes, tests, and other
assessments and activities.
- Credit Recovery/Summer School courses are graded as Pass/Fail. To earn a passing grade, students must complete all

Student Progress
-
Parent(s)/Guardian(s) will automatically receive a daily email every morning that provides an overview of how their student is doing
in their Edgenuity course. Use this information to keep an eye on your student's progress and performance and as a conversation
starter if they appear to be struggling.
The daily progress email will be sent to the email address of the student’s primary contacts in Infinite Campus (our student
management system). If you would like to verify your email address or opt out of receiving a daily Edgenuity progress email, please
email Nickole Koep at nkoep@shakopee.k12.mn.us.
Understanding the Student Progress Report Sent in the Parent Email
The progress report sent to a parent/guardian in the email will look like this –>Here are a few pointers for understanding the Daily Progress email:
- Name of Course: The course the student has earned the grades for.
- Grade(s): Edgenuity has three different grade metrics.
- Actual Grade: This is the overall grade adjusted for progress
if a student is behind. - Relative Grade: This is the grade that a student would
receive if they stopped working and received 0% for all
unfinished activities. - Overall Grade: The grade your student has earned thus far in the course, based on all activities and assessments
completed. This is the percentage grade based on a 0-100% scale.
- Actual Grade: This is the overall grade adjusted for progress
- Progress: There are four elements in this section that advise you on the progress your student is making in the course.
- Course Completed Percentage: Indicates the percent of the course completed, calculated by the number of
assignments completed vs. the total number of assignments in the course, weighted by the average time it takes a
student to complete the types of assignments. - Target Completion: Indicates how far along in the course the student should be.
- Start Date: The date the student is expected to start the course.
- End Date: Also known as the Target Date, this is the date the student is expected to have completed the course.
- If the End Date is the same as the Start Date, then the teacher has not set a date for the student to have
the course completed by. This will impact the Current and Target percentages.
- If the End Date is the same as the Start Date, then the teacher has not set a date for the student to have
- Course Completed Percentage: Indicates the percent of the course completed, calculated by the number of
