In this reporting period report cards were sent home to grade 7 – 9 parents, but we will not be sending report cards out to 10 – 12 parents because they can access student results and attendance on-line at any time.  It was great to see so many parents, guardians, and students out for Student Led Conferences. Remember, if you ever want to set up an interview with one of your child’s particular teachers, please contact the school.
