Report Cards


Assessment week was a success bringing semester one to a close. A sigh of relief was heard when the assessment week schedule was not interrupted by a snow day! 

Over the next several day's teachers will be working hard to score assessments and enter them into Unified Classroom. Scores will go through two rounds of verification before the final report is run. Final scores are scheduled to be published to parents on Friday, January 24th, at 4:00 pm.

If the timeline changes, parents and students will be notified through the school digital contact system.
