Intermediate Report Card and Gradebook

Greg Pace, Tesago Elementary Principal

This presentation is designed for parents who have children entering third grade and new parents in the district who have children at the intermediate level.  Mr. Pace will present to parents the intermediate elementary report card (grades 3, 4 & 5) and will detail the changes in the elementary grading system. Mr. Pace will also show how parents can access their child’s grades electronically throughout the marking period. The transition to a percentage grade from the more general 1-2-3-4 grading can be surprising for parents. With parent teacher conferences around the corner, this will be a presentation you will not want to miss.
