Marking Period 2 Guardian Letter

Marking Period 2Guardian Letter
Marking period 2 grades are an important indicator of student progress. If your student is receiving A’s, B’s, and C’s, they are on track and do not require additional screening from our staff at this time. If your student is receiving a D or F in one or more classes, our staff will continue to communicate with students and families through grade updates on Canvas. We want students to understand that our outreach is not negative. It’s supportive.


We want all students to feel supported in their educational journey here at Independence!

EWS = Early Warning System EWS = Early Warning System

How do we identify students in need of additional support? The EWS Report is a report that surfaces students in jeopardy of not graduating.


Our staff works together to connect with students and guardians to provide additional outreach and support. Outreach might look like:

  • A prioritized list of assignments for a specific class
  • 1:1 discussion with a counselor about afternoon routine and study habits
  • 1:1 discussion with a student advisor about attendance
  • Review of specialized plans (504s or IEPs)
  • CARE Referral for outside services.
