Progress Reports
Our learners in grades K-8 will bring home progress reports for the first 3 weeks of school on Tuesday, Sept. 16th. We encourage parents and students to review grades, celebrate successes and most importantly set goals for growth. No need to panic if you see a grade that is not what you want it to be because 6 weeks remain in the grading period. For specific questions please contact your child's teacher. Open lines of communication benefit our learners.
High expectations, quality instruction and 100% effort means our learner can gain one year or more of progress this year.
