Progress Reports Are Available Today in MyStudent!

Parents and guardians, progress reports are now available in MyStudent. We encourage you to take a few moments to review your child's grades and academic progress together.


No matter what you see on the report, start with a hug. Your child needs to know that your love and support are not determined by a grade. Progress reports are an opportunity for reflection, celebration, and growth.



When talking with your child about their grades, try asking questions such as:

  • What classes are you feeling most successful in right now?
  • Which class is the most challenging, and why?
  • What are you most proud of this grading period?
  • Is there anything you need help with at home or at school?
  • What goals would you like to set before the next progress report?

Keep the conversation focused on learning, effort, and improvement rather than just the numbers on the screen. Celebrate successes and work together to create a plan for areas that need attention.


If you have questions or concerns about a grade, please communicate directly with your child's teacher. Teachers can provide valuable insight into academic performance, classroom expectations, missing assignments, and strategies for success. CLICK HERE for our contact list, or message the teachers directly through MyStudent.


Together, we can support every student in reaching their full potential. Thank you for partnering with us in your child's education!
