Grades due/Report cards
As mentioned in a prior email, all 6th and 7th grades are due on Friday, June 3rd. All 8th grades are due Monday, June 6th UNLESS you teach Math 1 or Earth/Environmental as we must wait on their exam scores for final grades. The change... 6th and 7th grade report cards will be dispersed in person on Wednesday, June 8th, the last day of school. Homeroom teachers MUST sign EVERY student report card (6th, 7th, and 8th). 8th grade report cards will be mailed home due to the timing delay. 6th and 7th grade report cards will hopefully be printed on Monday, June 6th to give 6th and 7th grade teachers time to sign. If students owe fees, report cards will be held.
