During this time in the academic year, you should be receiving report cards or progress reports from your child’s school. It is important to be aware of how your child is progressing in his or her classes. Some things to look for and consider when you receive a grade report include:
Is your child passing every class? A passing grade is usually a 70 or above, but this may vary from school district to school district. Reach out to your child’s school to get more information about their grading policies.
How many absences does your child have? This is important because students learn best when they receive direct instruction from their teachers on a consistent basis. Parents should keep in mind that students who have excessive absences may not earn credit for high school credit courses.
Is your child struggling academically or having a hard time making progress? Schools often provide additional services and programs to help students who are experiencing difficulty making academic progress.
If you have questions or concerns about your child’s grades, attendance, or progress, contact your child’s school or your local MEP staff.
Stay Connected with your MEP Recruiter
Will your family be making a migratory move during the school year? If so, please reach out to your MEP recruiter. Your district MEP staff will send a move notification to the district you are moving to, which will assist with the enrollment process for your children and ensure they continue to receive MEP services at their new location.
As we enjoy the winter season, remember that this time of the year provides an opportunity to explore new beginnings and look forward to the year ahead.
You and your family have wrapped up 2021 and now may welcome 2022 by spending time together, exploring the great outdoors, and enjoying family traditions and celebrations.
