2nd Trimester Progress Reports will be coming home with your teen at the end of next week (Thursday, Feb. 17th). If you have any questions or need clarification on any progress report, please feel free to email that teacher directly (teacher email addresses are on each progress report).
Each student’s COACH will be reviewing the progress reports with their COACHees during afternoon support starting this week through next week. This will allow our students to be active participants in understanding their progress in specific classes, gain clarity on areas they need to continue to work on and be a part of the game planning necessary to set and achieve any decided goals.
Have an awesome Super Bowl. Go Bengals!
