Dear Parents: On Thursday, your child will receive a report cart at the end of B-Band. Please be advised that the "letter-grade" indicated will not reflect an accurate "grade" since grades were not "rounded-up" to the nearest whole-grade. However, if you visit the school's on line-grading report (jupitergrades.com) you will discover your child's "actual" numerical grade for the first-marking period. This numerical grade WILL be averaged with the grade your child earns for the second-marking period. If you do not have your OWN password (not your child's), please contact the LMGHS Parent Coordinator. When we meet this week, I will give you a print-out for grades and assignments your child completed this marking-period.

Schedule for Week of 15 October:
Just relax...it is two days of testing and anxiety!
