Progress Reports

Dear Colleagues:

As you are already aware, the marking period is drawing to a close on October 12, 2007. In an effort to begin an open dialogue with families of our students, we will be sending both "positive" and "needs improvement" progress reports home on October 1, 2007.

With the gracious help of the McKee staff, we have reproduced over 2000 "positive" and "needs improvement" progress reports for our departments alone. As you read this, class sets of each type of blank report are being placed in or near your mailboxes. Please take these, review your gradebook and fill in accordingly.

All "needs improvement" reports for students who are in immediate danger must be filled out and returned to me no later than Monday, October 1st, 2007 at 9 AM in room 415. These reports will be labeled and posted directly from school. Additionally, please note that all "positive" progress reports must be distributed through your period 0-9 classes on Monday, October 1st, 2007. May I suggest that these be given out at the end of the period so as not to disrupt your lessons.

It is essential that we inform our students' families of their current progress and enlist their aid in the educational process. I thank you in advance for your professionalism and punctuality in this matter.

Sincerely,

J. O'Brien
