Grading

Report Cards

Report cards are issued at the end of each quarter (nine weeks period) to each student in grades 1-12. Kindergarten students receive their report cards twice a year at each semester's end.

The report card is intended to give parents an indication of the progress their child is making. Therefore, parents should review and discuss the report card with their child. Should concerns arise, parents are always welcome to schedule an appointment with the child's teacher, guidance counselor, or principal.

Please do your part to help our teachers help your child. Education is a cooperative effort in which we must all take an active part.

Mid-Term Progress Reports

Five weeks after the start of a new marking period, mid-term progress reports may be sent to the parents of students. While these notices sometimes warn that a student is in danger of failing a particular subject, or they may notify parents that the student is not working up to par, they may indicate positive student achievement, also. The district hopes that parents who receive negative mid-term progress reports will work with their children to help them to do better in school.
