End of 4th Quarter Grading Reminders
The end of the school year is quickly approaching. If you have not marked your calendar yet, the last day of school is May 28 (May 25 for students in grade 8). All assignments, projects, makeups, and any items that are included in your child's final grade must be completed and submitted by Friday, May 21.
Help your child succeed by having him/her check PowerSchool to see all grading information (assignments, assessments, projects, etc.). Any assignments marked with an orange exclamation point are considered missing and should be completed and submitted to your child's teacher(s). Please make sure your child notifies any teachers of missing work that has been submitted for credit. As always, contact your child's teachers directly with any specific questions.
