Progress Reports:
In addition to the progress reports printed for students at 6 weeks, 9 weeks, 12 weeks and 15 weeks, progress reports will be emailed periodically. Parents are also encouraged to use the "parent portal" to monitor their son or daughter's progress.

*Additionally, progress reports can and will be emailed at any time, but only as requested each time by the parent or student. For example, if a parent wants reports every Wednesday, that parent will need to send a brief request each Wednesday. Otherwise, reports will be sent periodically, but at irregular intervals.
