Report Cards wereA mailed on Friday November 19

Questions regarding a grade should be directed to the subject teacher. An excellent way to approach this matter is to encourage the student to go to the teacherA for an explanation ofA the grade.A This is the first step in teaching a student to advocate for him or herself.A After all, the A student participated in the class activities and assessments, and it is important that he/she understands the marking period grade andA is ableA to explain it.A If questions remain regarding the summative grade,A the parent should contact the teacher first by phone or email for an explanation. Following discussions with the teacher(s), parents who detect a pattern of disorganization or problems with assignments/study skills, may wish to contact their child's guidance counselor for suggestions/intervention.
