Report Cards
The Palms school year is made up of two 20-week semesters. Each semester, students receive two progress reports and two report cards. The same report card form is used for all four reports.
Teachers submit grades on specific dates, and you receive them in the mail about a week later. Make sure your mailing address is up-to-date with the Student Services office.

Tips for Parents
- Keep in communication with your child's teachers and counselor.
- Don't wait until the final report card to communicate.
- Regularly visit the Parent Portal.
- Actively check Schoology with your child. They may not remember all of their assignments, so it's better to check than to simply ask them if they have any homework.
- Check planners, agendas, and anything else that your child's teachers require students to write their assignments in.
