ELEMENTARY TRIMESTER REFLECTIONS
The first Trimester will end on November 17th. We are committed to partnering with you and providing information about your student’s growth this year. Your child’s Trimester Reflection will include student goal setting, self-reflection on learning behaviors, an academic overview with teacher comments, and information about PE, Art, and Music. Students reflected and recorded their own assessment of the Behaviors that Affect Learning and Specials.
Trimester reflections will be posted on November 22nd in the evening in PowerSchool. Here is a “How-to” on accessing the information. I will send out another reminder closer to the 22nd, but I wanted to give you some advanced warning.
Thank you for your partnership!
