Progress Reports

Progress reports went home today with my students.

For my 8th grade students, it was a double-sided progress report with their academic grade on one side and their scholarly grade on the other.

For my advanced art students, it was a single-sided progress report with only their scholarly grade, since they have not yet finished their first academic grade/project.

Please sign and return the progress report by tomorrow!

If you have questions about the progress report, feel free to call or e-mail me.
