VIRTUAL LEARNING DURING COVID-19 Kellenberg Memorial shifted to remote learning immediately, adhering to a bell schedule while utilizing teleconferences, which provided structure, routine, and personal accountability to all students. In lieu of traditional Comprehensive Exams, students demonstrated cumulative content mastery through Culminating Assessments in all subject areas. By issuing numeric grades, we never compromised the rigor of our curriculum or our academic integrity. Our 2020 grades are reliable evidence of student achievement during the pandemic.
