Trimester 2 report cards will be sent home this afternoon with your student. Please review the report card and refer to our "Interpreting the Standards-Based Report Card" FAQ if you are having trouble understanding the proficiency-based scoring. Take a close look at Habits of Citizenship and Habits of Work. Students that do well in these areas typically thrive and meet or exceed academic standards.
