Dear Parents,
The intermediate division would like to inform you that the progress reports will be handed out mid-December. As I have been regularly updating my blog, there should be no surprises to your child’s progress in my classes. At this time we are making an effort to meet/call the parents of students who are progressing with difficulty. If you have not been contacted, and should you still be interested in meeting/having a phone interview, please do not hesitate to contact me. You may choose to do so now or after the first term report goes home (early February). A strong parent-teacher relationship is crucial to your child’s academic development during this transitional year – I thank you for your support.
Regards,
Mr. Mizrahi
