REPORT CARDS/GRADES/PROGRESS REPORTS
Communication with a student’s parent/guardian regarding progress is an important component of the parent/school partnership. Teachers will communicate with parents when a student is not passing their class to discuss and/or create a plan for the student to be successful. Frederic 6-12 School provides six reports (progress/grades) and schedules three parent/teacher conference times throughout the year. We also rely on students and parents to communicate with each other on academic progress. Parents may monitor student academic progress online using Infinite Campus.
