It's Interim Week for the first quarter! This is a great time to check in on your child's progress throughout the the first few weeks of school. Interim reports will be available on the Home Access Center (HAC) on Thursday, September 2nd. Talk with your child about how they are doing this quarter, if they're missing any assignments, and how they can improve. If you have specific questions, reach out to your child's teacher!
