To 5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th grade parents,
In the next three weeks report cards distribution will take place. It is imperative that you keep abreast of your child's school work and test scores. It is important that you make an appointment to meet with me regarding your child's progress in school. It is not too late for your child to improve on their grades before report card conference. Hope to see you soon.
Mrs Ramsey,
