Report Card Timeline
Please review the report card timeline to ensure you are on track for a great first quarter. There should be at least four to five grades for each content area for the first nine weeks of school. Social Studies or Science content areas may have an exception if alternating units.
Progress reports were sent home twice for grades K-2 and three times for grades 3-5 to ensure communication between parents and teachers around grading. Make sure you are able to produce the assignments that are inputted in the grade book in case a parent challenges a grade.
