Report cards were mailed out last week. However, our fantastic computer program (insert 🙄 ) computed the GPA incorrectly for any student with an Intervention class. Therefore, new reports are being created to reflect the appropriate GPA.
*Grades are accurate. 😉
PS: We are as frustrated with this as you are. 🤦♀️
Report cards have been mailed. Vandy has also included a copy of your student’s most recent iReady reading and math diagnostic (taken between Dec -Jan). Diagnostics note each foundational area and overall grade level your student is performing at per skill area. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have questions, concerns or wish to schedule a conference.
