Progress Reports- As a result of the District’s Paperwork Reduction Committee recommendations, we will only be sending official progress reports home once per quarter.  The progress report sent home on September 11, 2008 will be the official report for the first nine weeks grading period.  Individual teachers or teams may send progress reports home with students on a more frequent basis, but this is not required.  Teacher's will continue to provide scholarship warnings to those students whose grades have dropped significantly, are not meeting the standards or are in danger of failing.  If you have questions about your student’s grade, you are encouraged to contact the teacher directly.

Science progress reports will not be given out while I am on maternity leave. My leave starts 03/09/09. Please check your student's binder for graded quizzes and tests to access where they are.
