Take time to look through everything and consider the following:
** Everyone has room to grow somewhere.
** The scores from this report card will not be averaged with the next one. If your child received a score of 1 or 2, it is imperative that you begin working with your student at home so that he/she does not get further behind. When we return from the break, our classes will continue to hit the ground running with more and more new material when we return from break.
** Term grades are not necessarily an average of the assessments taken within each term. The Term grade is an overall picture of how your child is performing in each subject area at this time.
** The most beneficial thing you can do to support your child at home is to read with them for 20 minutes each night.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to us. It’s been an incredible joy to watch your child grow during the first 9 weeks of this school year. We hope you all have a great Fall Break
