Some Report Cards Are Late: Here's Why

After seeing some comments from a on , the school district wanted to explain the reason for the delay in receiving report cards in some grades.

Report cards were originally scheduled to be received on Nov. 4. For grades Kindergarten through sixth grade, they will now be given out Nov. 11. 

"They were delayed one week due to the fact that Progress Book was down for maintenance for a full week, and teachers weren't able to access the system and include their comments," according to a district press release. "In order for teachers to communicate with parents, the district decided to postpone sending report cards home by one week in order for teachers to share information with parents."

High school and middle school students did receive their report cards last Friday because those teachers "do not include extensive comments on report cards," a statement from the district said.

Parents also have the ability to look at their student's report card on Progress Book. To do this, go to www.smfschools.org and click the "Parent" tab and then "Progress Book."
