Bi-Weekly Progress Reports

In an effort to keep you better informed of your child's academic progress, our district office has helped us to develop a progress report that we will be sending every two weeks to your email. This report will give you your child's most up to date yearly average in each of his/her classes. If you did not receive this email last Wednesday, please call the office to update your email address in our system. The next progress report will be sent March 3.
