Students will receive a progress report at the middle and end of each grading period. Students who are doing poorly, and their parents, shall be notified. The board encourages the notification of students who have made marked improvement prior to the end of the semester.
Parent-teacher conferences will be held twice a year at the elementary, middle school, and high school to keep the parents informed. An individual parent-teacher conference will be scheduled biannually for families with students in grades K-4.
Parents, teachers, or principals may request a conference for students in grades kindergarten through twelve in addition to the scheduled conference time. Parents and students are encouraged to discuss the student's progress or other matters with the student's teacher.
