The resulting report--with all data, observations, focused interviews and benchmarks-- should come back to us sometime around November 15.  This document will be an important resource for launching a strategically sound initiative in the development of technology at our school. 

Midterm Reports

Midterm Reports

Last week, midterm reports were passed out to students.  Parents and students are encouraged to discuss the grades and comments, visiting Engrade for more details.  If there are any questions, please contact the teacher of the specific class for more detail.  Email addresses for all staff are found on the school website, as well, parents can also contact the office to set up an appointment for a conference. 

Parents should sign the report and have the student return it to his or her homeroom teacher as soon as possible.

Students and parents are reminded that this report gives an outlook into how the students is progressing up to this point of the quarter.  There is still time to change the grade, for the positive or negative, before the end of the quarter.  Students should strive to meet the recommendations of teachers to achieve the expectations for the quarter.  Parents are encouraged to support their students in this pursuit by providing the necessary time and supervision the student needs for reading, studying, and completing homework and projects.   If a parent or student is unsure of what steps to take to ensure positive progress, they are encouraged to contact the teacher.
