Students received a Reading Class progress report from me today, 10/06. This should be reviewed, signed and returned to me as soon as possible. I usually send home a progress report every two weeks as a courtesy to you and your child. That way, there will not be any surprises when report cards are distributed. Don't forget about I-Parent. If you haven't signed up, contact the front office for information on how you can have access to teacher gradebooks!
