OCTOBER 2007

Progress Reports for Marking Period 1 will be distributed to students during Homeroom on Tuesday, October 9, 2007.

This year, students will receive a single sheet with any current grades and comments (rather than individual reports for each course). In general, grades have been submitted for students whose current average is 75% or below. Therefore, it is possible that a student may not have a Progress Report if all grades are above 75%.

Regardless of grades, however, any student who receives a Progress Report must return it with a parent/guardian signature on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, or he will be assigned JUG.

Any questions about your son's progress in a particular course should be directed to the teacher. Email addresses and phone extensions may be found on the department webpages. Click on the "Academic Departments" link on the left side of this page for specific contact information for each teacher.
