3rd Nine Weeks Progress Reports
The third nine weeks progress reports will be given to students in Chilton County on Tuesday, February 7. We hope that parents/guardians will review their child's grades and see if progress is being made with academic accomplishment. If parents/guardians would like to set up a meeting with any teachers, please call the school at 280-2820.
Most students can improve their grades with less time spent watching TV or playing video games and more time spent on homework and studying. Please make sure your child has a regular homework time each day at home for at least 30 or more minutes. Even if they do not have a written homework assignment, students can help themselves by quiet reading, reviewing notes, or proofing their assignments for mistakes.
