For more information you can review the Communication of Student Learning Guidelines found on the district website under student and parent resources.

“Due to the ongoing pandemic, it is even more important to acknowledge that each student entered school in September in a different place than another student.  In recognition of that, we want to remind parents and students that our progress reports are a snapshot of their learning and an opportunity to celebrate their growth so far this school year.”
