Reports Cards are issued at the end of each marking period (four times a year) for children in Kindergarten through fourth grade.  They are a reflection of a child's progress in school.  During the first quarter, first graders will not receive grades for academic areas.  A conference will be held with the parents to discuss academic progress. 

Parents are required to sign and return the report card envelope to the teacher on the day following the distribution of report cards. Parents may keep the report card.
