Introducing a New and Improved Progress Report for Elementary Students
|

O
ver the past year, we have worked with parents, teachers, and administration to develop a new Progress Report (Report Card) for our elementary families. The Progress Report was created to help parents better understand what their child should know, and be able to do, according to the PA Core Standards established for that specific grade level. The new Progress Report will be provided to families three times per year on November 16, March 5, and May 31. Informational meetings will be held over the next few weeks. Click below to learn more!
