Trimester 1 Report Cards Distributed Fri 12/16


Trimester 1 Report Cards Distributed 12/16

Good morning,  


This afternoon all Nichols Middle School students will be heading home with their first trimester report cards, which were issued today, Friday, December 16.  They will go home with your child with a receipt saying you received and saw the Report Card, which will need to be signed and returned to your child’s homeroom teacher on Monday, December 19.  
I have said this before but I will say it again, that communication is a powerful tool in closing the gap between home and school and ensuring success for all of our students.  The marks that you have found on this report card should never be a surprise to either you or your child.  If you feel that discussion regarding your child’s progress or lack of it is needed, please call the school to talk to the teacher, to then make an appointment to schedule a time that would offer both you and the teacher enough time to adequately discuss your child's present situation. 

Please make sure that you also pay attention to the comments section of the report card as well for this may be an indication as to how your child is progressing with their learning and could speak louder than just the letter grade.  
With your child's 1st Trimester Report Card is also our NMS 2016 Massachusetts School Report Card, which I have posted about here.  Please check it out as well.
If you have any questions on any of this, please do not hesitate to contact us.  
Thank you and have a great weekend,
