Interim Reports
Interim reports are mailed home halfway through each nine-week period to all children. Interim reports are sent home to report student achievement, comment on strengths and weaknesses, and verify improvement. If a parent has a question concerning an interim report, he/she should call the school and speak to the appropriate teacher.
Report Cards
Report cards are distributed every nine weeks to notify parents/guardians of their children's progress. Report cards for the first three nine-weeks are distributed to students during Homebase. The report card for the last nine-weeks is mailed home. Report cards are the property of the students and should not be returned to the school.
