Principal’s Message
It’s not too late!
As each school day passes, some students are accumulating above-average grades; while others are accumulating below-average grades and missing assignments. The good news is that it is not too late for students to improve their grades.
Third quarter progress reports will be available in Infinite Campus on Monday, Feb. 6, and I encourage you to check your children’s progress. Both you and their teachers can use these reports to work together to develop an educational plan that assists students in achieving confidence in themselves as scholarly learners, as well as demonstrating academic growth.
As educational experts state, “One good way to help students succeed is to track and review their progress over time.”
In addition, forming partnerships between home and school gives us valuable opportunities to collaborate for the benefits of our students. Together, we can have meaningful conversations and provide them with instructional support, as well as the encouragement they need for academic achievement and their overall well being.
Remember, it is not too late!
Parents, please continue to monitor your child’s grades in Infinite Campus Parent Portal. If you need an activation code, please contact Stephany Blanco, office manager, or Mr. Slocum, school librarian, for assistance.
