Trimester 2 Report Cards Distributed, Friday, March 28



Trimester 2 Report Cards, Parent-Teacher Conferences, & Aspen Parent Portal Access

This afternoon I sent home an AlertNow message reminding parents that Report Cards for Trimester 2 were issued today, Friday, March 28.  They went home with your child with a small sheet saying you received and saw the Report Card, which will need to be signed and returned to your child’s homeroom teacher on Monday, March 31.  

Communication is a powerful tool in closing the gap between home and school and ensuring success for all of our children.  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 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 remember that Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled for next Wednesday, April 2, from 6 to 8:30 PM, and then again on Wednesday, April 16, from 4 to 6:30 PM.  Please know that these Spring Conferences are usually lighter in attendance, so you will have a far greater chance of discussing your child’s progress at these conferences.

Also with your child’s Report Card is a letter about setting up your own account for the Aspen Parent Portal.  With this access, you will be able to check on your child’s progress or lack of it as teachers enter grades throughout the trimester.  Please check it out.





Again, second trimester report cards went home today, please sign the sheet saying you saw your child's report card and have the receipt brought back to school on Monday.  Please come to conferences next Wednesday or April 16.  And finally, please set up your access for the Aspen Parent Portal.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.  Thank you and have a great weekend.
