Report Cards Go Out Next Week- Electronically!! The 2nd Trimester for the 2014-15 school year ends today and teachers are busy preparing report cards. Report cards will be sent home on Friday, March 13th in a new way. Instead of your child bringing home a paper report card, you will receive an email with the report card attached as a PDF. Blach Junior High has sent their report cards out as an email for the last year so we are not breaking new ground here. The advantages to parents receiving the report card via email are many; from saving paper and copying costs to parents being able to store their child’s reports electronically. If you wish to also have a paper copy, please contact the office and we will be happy to provide one. At the end of the school year, we will include a paper copy of the report card in each student’s cummalitve file- as we always have done. Wishing you and your family a great weekend. Wade Spenader- Principal |
