Will progress reports be given periodically?
Vandenberg Middle School sends home a progress report every six weeks. This report shows where your child currently stands and is not their final grade. Your child receives a final grade at the end of the first semester, which ends the third week of December, and at the end of the second semester, which ends the first week of June. If you'd like a progress report earlier than the six week interim, please let me know and I will print one out for you.Back to Top
