Progress Reports for the third trimester of the school year are included in today’s Friday folder. Please review and complete the Progress Reports, which are printed on prink paper. Return the Reports to school on Monday, May 4. Thank you.

Midterm Progress Reports for Trimester 2 are being sent home in today’s Friday folder. Please discuss then sign the notification and goals sheet with your 4th grader and send back to school on Monday. All work assessed and graded for this report has been sent home in Friday folders.

The date to send home Trimester 2 Midterm Progress Reports has been rescheduled from Jan. 30 to Feb. 6 due to the cancelled days of school in December and January.

Midterm progress reports for Gr. 4 are being sent home in today’s Richards Friday folder.  Please sign the top sheet and send it back to school on Monday. We can discuss any questions you – or your fourth grader – have during our upcoming parent-teacher conferences.

In class we talk about progress reports and report cards being “private business” between a child and his or her parents/guardians. I highly discourage sharing and comparing progress report and report card information with friends, classmates, and maybe even older brothers or sisters! However, we always shared our report cards with our Grandma Floy who was always a great cheerleader for my brothers and sisters and me.

Since this is the first time that students have received letter grades, please read the progress reports together. Talk about areas of strength and areas to improve over the next few weeks before report cards come home. Materials from our September Orientation meeting may be helpful to explain the grading system. Ask your fourth grader to make a plan for improvement in at least one academic area and brainstorm specific ways to improve that area.
