5)  I am a parent, and I would like to know how my child is doing in your class.  What can I do?

• Option #1:  Students are responsible for keeping track of their marks in class.  All students record their marks on either a marks record sheet (provided in class), or in their agenda books.  Please check their agenda books or their marks record sheet (first page in their notebook). 
• Option #2:  Students receive progress reports from me each term.  If report cards are coming soon and your son/daughter has not brought home a progress report, I encourage you to discuss the matter with them...
• Option #3:  If your son/daughter has done a less than stellar job at keeping track of their own progress, you can contact me at the school.  (604)-903-3700
