REPORTING STUDENT PROGRESS: Home/school communication is extremely important, particularly in regard to student performance. We feel that the teacher and parent share joint responsibility for this communication.

The formal reporting procedure includes:

1. Back to School Night: This is an evening in September set aside for parents to familiarize themselves with their child's classroom and school. Classrooms are open to explain the curriculum that will be undertaken by the students during the school year. Grade level expectations, classroom expectations, classroom daily schedule, discipline and homework policies will be discussed. Back to School Night this year is September 14th.
2. Toward the end of the first trimester, a conference will be scheduled for all parents of each child. This is a very important opportunity for you to discuss your child's academic and social growth with the teacher. If the scheduled time is inconvenient for you, please contact the school to reschedule. Conferences are scheduled for November 7-22.
3. A report card will be issued at the end of each trimester. Conferences for selected students may be scheduled as necessary. Report card days this year are:  November 22nd, March 17th, and June 9th.
4. Spring consultations are provided for students who are "at risk" of not meeting grade level expectations. The teacher will notify parents of those children and schedule these consultations as needed. This year Spring Consultations are scheduled for March 6-10th.

Informal reporting may take place any time. Please check with the teacher any time you have questions or concerns. It may save time if you call to make an appointment with the teacher ahead of time.
