Semester 2 Report Cards
During this semester, families/caregivers will receive three student report cards including the Interim Report, Mid-Semester Report and Semester End Report. Each report card will provide
you with information about your child’s achievement throughout the semester. Interim reports are part of the ongoing communication from our school to support your child’s academic achievement and well-being. We hope that this report will provide valuable feedback for your child and support in the conversations about their learning at home. Distribution of your child’s interim report card for the second semester will begin on Monday, March 23. Parents/guardians/caregivers can gain access to their child’s report cards through our new Family Dashboard. Please ensure your email on file with the school office is up to date. Your child will continue to access their report card via their Student Google account (GAPPS).
