Achievement Records: Your child’s 2nd quarter Achievement Record will be available for online viewing on Wednesday, January 7th through our PowerSchool program. If you have misplaced your child's username and password, please contact the Fouse office at 797-7400. I do not have access to your child's online information. Also on the 7th, your child will come home with a collection of papers and assessments that he/she has completed over the last few weeks. Please note that some of the items on our achievement record have not been assessed at this time. These particular items have been left blank. Each quarter we only assess the skills which we have introduced and practiced thoroughly. Please take some time to review your child's progress and discuss your child’s growth with him/her. I recommend that you use this information to help your child set learning goals for the remainder of the school year. Parent-Teacher conferences are not necessary unless a parent or teacher requests one. Please check your child's AR to see if "conference needed" has been checked. If a conference is needed, please contact me to schedule it as soon as possible.
