The Kenai high school reporting

changed for the ensuing school

principal.
Report cards will be issued on
Wednesday following the 9-weeks
grading period and will be dis
tributed on Nov. 8, Jan. 17, Mar,
21, and May 17.
Report cards are issued so par
ents may be aware of the cali
ber of work their child is doing
in school. This year, they will be
distributed by the individual tea
chers to students in their classes.
A student carrying five subjects
will have five report slips. These
slips need not be signed nor do
they need to be returned to the
teacher, Phillips said.
Students doing poor work are
notified from two to three weeks
in advance of report card time
by means of “poor work slips.”
These are sent home by the
child indicating the subject and
the reason for the poor work. A
student then has ample time to
pick up his grades, if he so de
sires, the principal stated.
