Progress reports are mailed home midway through each quarter.
If a student receives a “D” or “F” grade, please contact the

teacher directly to work out a plan for success.

Progress reports are sent in plenty of time to raise a failing grade

to a passing grade by the end of the quarter.

contacted by the Learning Director or Counseling Technician.

A meeting will be set up to discuss a plan for success.
