Dear Parents,
Happy Halloween! No this is not a trick or a treat, but the first quarter comes to a close on Friday, November 1, 2019. Teachers will be working on completing grades, end of day, on November 1st into the following week. Grades will be available to view on an electronic report card Friday, November 8th. Please electronically sign once you’ve viewed the report card. Thank you.
I’ve found it useful to not focus on the grade when discussing the report card with my child, but focusing on asking them what they think of their accomplishments or growth areas. It’s best to get an understanding of what they felt they did well and what they would like to do better at next quarter. Then ask them, “What is your plan to reach this goal.” This thought process helps focus on the child and not the grade. Grades come and go, but our relationship with our child is forever.
God Bless,
Steven Kelnhofer
