� Progress Reports  � Later this week, I will send home your child�s first quarter progress report.  This is a brief narrative summary of your student�s progress thus far in the school year.  Progress reports are sent home for all students during the first quarter; in subsequent quarters, they will be sent only if there is a significant change in performance.  Before sending home the report on Friday, I will review it with your student so that he/she understands what is written.  Please talk with your child about his/her progress report at home.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
