From the Office of Steve Kelnhofer, PreK - 8th Grade Principal

Dear Parents,

 

The third quarter is upon us. Please look below if you need any support on how to view your child’s report card. It’s important to remember grades paint a picture of how your child is learning, but grades don’t define who your child is as a person. They are so much more and it’s important to keep that in mind when discussing their learning. Report cards give an excellent opportunity to open the door of communication about their learning. Asking questions about, what they did good or what they would like to improve upon, are ways to build goal setting, reflection and bonding with your child. Thank you for partnering with SMSA on your child’s academic journey.

 

God Bless,

Steve Kelnhofer
