Checking for Progress
Today marks the beginning of week four of the 2014-2015 school year. High school students will bring home interim reports this week and elementary and middle school students will bring interim reports home next week. The purpose of the interim report is to chart the student's progress in a class. As parents, we need to be sure to ask the right questions about progress throughout the year.

5 Questions to Begin a Discussion with Your Child 
on Progress in School
1. What do you know now that you didn't know three weeks ago?
2. What is easy/difficult for you in this class?
3. What do you want to know more about or know how to do better in this class?
4. How can we work together to practice what you're learning?
5. How can we work together to be sure that you feel confident about what you're studying?
