T3 Progress Reports

Hello Odyssey Families,

We wanted to let you know that 6th and 7th grade students were given a progress report packet in their last period class today.  Please look over the content of the progress reports and discuss the feedback they contain.  If there are any themes in the feedback, please work with your student and the team of teachers to come up with a plan around it (e.g., students may need to stay after school for one or two days to make up any missing homework assignments)  As always, if you have any questions about how your student is progressing, we are available through the email and phone contact information on the cover letter and are willing to work with you.  

We ask that both the student and a parent/guardian sign the cover letter.   Please have the student return it back to their advisory teacher to ensure that all families have reviewed the packet.  Thank you for your continued support and partnership!

Sincerely,

Odyssey Teachers
