MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRESS REPORTS: Students in Middle School will receive a progress report every three to four weeks. This procedure is intended keep students and parents aware of a student's success, as well as aware of any academic or behavioral issues that may be interfering with a student's achievement in school. Report cards showing an overall score for each subject for the entire trimester are issued at the end of each trimester. Parents, if you don't see the progress report when scheduled, please contact me through the school office or e-mail me by clicking here
