KPHS Grading System
KPHS utilizes a standards based grading system. This system focuses not only on assignments that get turned in, but also the knowledge your student has acquired. 80% of your students' grade will come from their scores on assessments, and 20% of their grade will come from weekly assignments. To gain a better understanding of this grading system, please watch the following video.
Delphinium
Delphinium is an overlay in Canvas that enhances the user interface for students and parents. We are also able to use it to improve customized communications. In order to get the most out of it, parents will need to create an observer account for their students.

There is an option for you to create a parent account in order to “observe” your students Canvas account. This option will allow you to look at each of your students' Canvas courses, as well as receive the same announcement and updates.
