Important End-of-Semester Information:

Student Grades

High school end-of-semester testing is scheduled from for next week: Dec. 17-20. Students will take a semester exam that assesses their learning throughout the whole semester. Students are highly encouraged to review all studied material. Let’s finish this semester strong!!!

A huge shout-out to our E-TECH students who successfully completed their fall semester courses. Great job, E-TECH!

Ensure that you check in PowerSchool to view student grades. You will receive a copy of the report card in January. As you review your student's performance for the first half of the academic year, consider having a good conversation with your child. In your discussion include the following questions:

• Are you satisfied with your academic performance?
• Did you complete all the work that was assigned to you?
• Have you taken advantage of the help offered by your teachers such as tutorials, opportunities to make up work, and opportunities to retake tests?
• Did you check eCampus/BrightSpace on a daily basis for college class information?
• If you are not satisfied, what do you plan to do differently this semester?

Attendance Information

If your scholar has any unexcused absences, the deadline to turn absence excuse notes in to Ms. Reitmeyer is December 19th. You may view attendance records in PowerSchool.
