Report Cards
Trimester 1 report cards were scheduled to go home on Friday, December 21. We are troubleshooting a communication issue between what is recorded in PowerSchool and what is being printed on the report cards. Administrative Assistant, Meghan Robb, French teacher, Linda Miller and I continue to work with our PowerSchool representative to fix these issues. An email was sent the morning of Friday, December 21 to alert parents that report cards would not be sent home that afternoon.
The parent portal for Trimester 1 remains open to view academic achievement grades, learning practices, and teacher comments. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we correct these issues. I will keep you updated this week with our progress.
