Progress Reports are on their way home!

Hi Parents,

I just wanted to let you know that Progress Reports were sent home for all students today.

If the grade is a C- or below, please sign the report and have your student return it to me as soon as possible. You may also acknowledge receipt of the progress report by emailing me.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you!
