ACADEMICS

REPORT CARD / PROGRESS REPORTS Report Cards are issued four times a year . Halfway between each report card date or at any other time needed , progress reports are sent home . These notices can apply to any subject and may indicate good work as well as unsatisfactory progress . Suggestions for improvement may be included in the notice . As a student , you should follow your teacher ’ s recommendations or suggestions in order that you will be working to your full capacity at the end of the quarter . A Progress Report and Report Card are invitations for your parents to call or come to school to discuss your progress with the teacher . We urge you to do this . If you are issued a Progress Report you will sign your name to it . Take it home for your parent ’ s signature and then return it to the teacher from whom you received it .
