Progress Reports - Friday January 6th

This Progress Report will also list the standards that are also being covered in class as was the last Report Card.
The Progress Report should be signed and returned to the home room teacher. 
The progress report serves to make students and parents aware of academic successes and areas in needs of improvement since the last report card.
