Report Card Reminders...

Please review your child's report card carefully! The standards (found on the front of the report card) stay consistent throughout the entire year. However, please note that each nine weeks the benchmarks (found on the back of the report card) change and the expectations become more challenging. (That being said, your child may get a 3 this quarter, but it may go down to a 2 next quarter depending on the benchmarks for that standard.) If you have any questions please feel free to ask!! Lastly, don't forget to return the signed signature card and envelope. You may keep the report card.
