Student Progress:
We are entering week 2 of quarter 2. First quarter report cards are now available on MyStudent. Please take a few minutes and review your students’ progress. It is important to remember that the quarter 1 grade is averaged with quarter 2 grade to determine the semester grade. The semester grade is what is on student transcripts. If you have questions, contact your student’s teachers. If you would like to schedule a parent/teacher conference, contact Ms. Collige at 352-524-5539. Remember we have free tutoring on Monday’s and Wednesday’s. See the flyer in the newsletter for more information.
