Mardela Middle High Student Handbook 2023-2024

8 Long-term Absence (six days or more) The make-up procedure for long-term absence will require the following: • The student should enter Google Classroom (GC) to complete necessary work. • Via GC, teachers are responsible for providing make-up work for students who are absent. • A reasonable timeline for the completion of the work will be established. Progress Reports and Report Cards Directions on how to access Family Portal will be shared by Mrs. Hastings. Progress Reports • The progress report is designed to let you know how your child is progressing in their current classes. • Progress reports are issued midway in the marking period and are distributed to all students. Report Cards Report Cards provide the student and their parents with an account of academic school progress. Each student has access to their report card through the Family Portal X2 at www.x2.wcboe.org, four times per year one week after the end of each nine-week marking period. The report card gives a grade in every subject that the student is currently enrolled in every nine weeks.
