Hopemore International Educational Leadership’s Philosophy

Where Are They Now?

Educators should consider what grade their students were in during the Covid-19 pandemic lock-down, because their student(s) could be missing information from that time period (i.e., Covid-19 learning gap).

The chart below illustrates students who progressed to the next grade each year. Using the blue highlighted row, for the academic school year of 2025-2026, locate the student’s current grade. Then the top of that column will show what grade the student(s) was in during the Covid-19 pandemic lock-down (i.e., March 2020 until June 2020). In addition, one should also consider the academic school year of 2020-2021 because some schools allowed their students to attend school in-person one day a week and four days remote; then a few months later allowed their students to attend school in-person two days and three days remote. Furthermore, some parents chose to keep their children home and had them attend school remotely all five days. Lastly, some schools required students who were exposed or came into close contact with a person who tested positive for Covid-19 to remain at home and learn remote up to two weeks. Therefore, educators should also consider the next grade, which is directly to the right of what grade the student(s) were in during Covid-19.

For example, a current 10th grader was in 4th grade during the Covid-19 pandemic lock-down (i.e., March 2020 until June 2020) and then 5th grade for the in-person and remote year (i.e., academic school year of 2020-2021).

According to the chart below, students who were in Pre-K, 4 to 5 years old, during the Covid-19 pandemic lock-down (i.e., March 2020 until June 2020), will be high school seniors in the academic school year of 2035-2036.

However, adjustments are needed for those students that repeated a grade.
