Dear Sedro-Woolley High School Students and Families,
Quarter 1 ends on Wed., Nov. 4th
Quarter 1 is about to come to a close....just 1 and 1/2 weeks away. The quarter officially ends on Wednesday, Nov. 4th and grade reports will be available at Parent/Teacher Conferences. Students, although your Quarter 1 grades are only the 1/2 way point for your Semester 1 transcript grades, it is critical that you get your grades to the highest point possible. Especially for our freshmen students--your G.P.A. (Grade Point Average) provides open doors for future possibilities after high school!
