I sent home second trimester progress reports today along with corrected work.  As there is still another month left to this grading period, there will be several more grades added into the mix (particularly in science) before the next report card.  I also included the number of AR points your child has at this point.  After reviewing this report, please sign the accompanying half sheet and send it back to me.  Thank you.
