GENERAL INFORMATION & UPDATES

Progress Report Information (End of Trister 5)

To view your child’s Semester 2 report, please log into PowerSchool. Each child's updated academic progress will be available to view at the 6, 9, and 12-week mark each semester and reflect your child’s in-progress academic standing. Progress reports do not reflect a student’s final grade with the exception of 6th-grade six-week wheel classes which will be final at the end of each trimester. Each student will receive a report card and GPA at the end of each semester. Below are additional reminders regarding grade reporting and when grades are considered final:

  • 6-week progress reports will reflect the final grade for 6th-grade trimesters 1 and 4 wheel classes.

  • 9-week progress reports will be the final grade for all Quarter 1 and 3 classes and reflect the mid-trimester grade for 6th-grade trimesters 2 and 5.

  • 12-week progress reports will be the final grade for 6th-grade trimesters 2 & 5 wheel classes.


Please visit PowerSchool and Schoology for more detailed information regarding your child’s grade and performance on specific assignments and/or assessments.

Citizenship marks will also be entered and reflective of behaviors in the classroom. Marks assigned for citizenships are as follows:

  • S: Satisfactory: Consistently meets individual classroom expectations
  • N: Needs Improvement: Inconsistency with meeting classroom expectations
  • U: Unsatisfactory: Consistently not meeting individual classroom expectations
