Report Card Day - Wednesday January 30th
On Monday or Tuesday classroom teachers will send home all portfolio tests, classwork and mid-year exams for your review prior to report card distribution. Parents should sign the letter sent home by the classroom teacher indicating that they have received all these materials. In this way you the parent will be aware of your child's success or weakness prior to the report card distribution.

Report Cards will be distributed to students on Wednesday, January 30th in the classrooms by Fr. Antonio.

New York State AIS (Academic Intervention Forms) will be distributed with report cards by your child's teacher during the Parent - Teacher Conference (2:00 PM - 7:00 PM) as required by New York State Education Law.
AIS forms are based on ITBS scores. Due to the New Common Core Curriculum Standards implemented with the ITBS many parents will need to meet with their child's teacher in order to develop strategies for their child's success as the Common Core Standards are further introduced into the curriculum.

As a reminder Tuition must be up to date for child to receive their report card.
