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.
