Interim reports
Interim reports are designed to indicate student performance. They are issued to all students at the halfway point each grading period and at any subsequent time prior to the end of the quarter. Interims will be mailed all quarters except the fourth quarter, when they will be hand-carried by students to their parent(s). If it appears that a student will fail a course, the parent will be notified as soon as possible. Under normal circumstances, a student should not fail a subject during any nine-week period unless prior notice is given via a timely interim report mailed by the teacher.

Refer to "important Dates to Remember" to know when Interim Reports will come home.

Quarterly Reports (report cards)
Report cards are issued four times a year at nine-week intervals. They are mailed to the student's home address.
