PROGRESS REPORTS & REPORT CARDS<br />
If you are not signed up to receive your information from our web-based system,<br />
at the mid-point of each quarter, a progress report will be mailed home. <strong>Parent</strong>s<br />
should note that quarter grades may differ from progress reports since tests and<br />
projects may be due at the close of a quarter. Teachers, administrators, or<br />
parents may initiate progress reports whenever there is an interim need for<br />
communication between the school and home. Report cards are issued to<br />
students on approximate nine week intervals. It is the students’ and parents’<br />
responsibility to see that they are reviewed and to contact the student’s school<br />
counselor if there are questions.<br />
STUDENT SERVICES<br />
<strong>School</strong> counseling services are available to all students. Appointments may be<br />
scheduled during students’ study halls by making arrangements with the<br />
<strong>Student</strong> Services secretary. <strong>Student</strong>s with no study halls may make<br />
appointments during class time with teacher permission. <strong>Parent</strong>s/guardians are<br />
also welcome to consult with their students’ school counselor. <strong>Parent</strong><br />
conferences are often helpful when a student is experiencing academic or<br />
personal problems, or when a student is in the process of setting plans and<br />
goals for the future. <strong>School</strong> counselors are available to schedule parent/teacher<br />
conferences upon request. <strong>Student</strong>s are urged to see their counselor whenever<br />
an academic or personal problem arises. Information given to a school<br />
