Second Trimester Progress Reports
Progress Reports for Trimester 2 will be issued this afternoon, Friday, January 26, and it symbolizes that not only are we halfway through the trimester, but that we are halfway through the school year. Your child will be coming home with the Progress Report as well as a receipt that needs to be signed and returned to school on Monday, January 29.
The marks that you have found on this progress report should never be a surprise to either you or the student. Please make sure you check out the grades as well as the comments, which could mention progress for Conduct and Effort. Please make sure you look for them.
If you feel that discussion regarding your child’s progress or lack of it in any of these categories 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. We need to make sure there is an open door of communication between school and home that is necessary to bring both the teacher and you to the same page in this educational journey. As for the progress report, it is just that: progress. Students should understand that the marks that are present at the halfway point of a term can change easily in either direction. Students should recognize that they can very simply transform those grades, again, in either direction. So if the grades were high-quality, students need to continue with the work habits they have displayed in the first month or so, and if the grades were not where they should have or could have been then that student needs to understand that a change in work habits is needed. Remember also, please keep up with checking in with your child on what's due or might be coming due on a nightly basis and also checking Aspen's parent portal, for this will help in keeping track as to where your child's grades stand as they progress through the rest of the trimester.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us here. Thank you and have a great weekend.
