Grades
Where is your child with their grade in art? Do they have missing work?
If so, please get them to a morning tutorial to catch-up (7:45 – 8:14).
If you have questions regarding a grade, please call or email your art teacher.
Remember, grades are posted in the art rooms each Friday morning and students are aware of their progress. Additionally, we all encourage parents to use the Home Access Center option of Gradespeed to check your child's progress in not only our classes, but all their others at CTMS as well! Call the school at 464.2500 if you have questions on this monitoring option for parents.
