at the start of class. The teacher will complete and return
the form to the student before class ends.

appropriately forwarded.
Progress
reports are distributed to students in their third period class about
once a month through the school year. Semester grade reports,
which compose a student’s official transcript, occur at the end of each
semester in December and May.
