Between now and Monday morning, April 14th, teachers will be updating their grades and loading progress reports. This is NOT a report card, but rather a picture of where students stand academically mid way through the 2nd semester. All progress reports will be mailed home and you should receive them the middle of next week. The 3rd progress report will come home on or about May 14th, and final report cards will be mailed home the week of June 23rd. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact teachers by phone or via email. Go Falcons!
