GRADING AND REPORT CARDS
When are grades and report cards shared, and how can I follow my child’s academic and behavioral progress?
Legacy has four quarters. Progress reports are emailed mid-quarter to provide an opportunity to address the academic or behavioral needs of the student. Report cards provide information regarding the student’s academic and behavioral performance. Report cards are emailed home at the end of each grading period. Parents/guardians are encouraged to access their child(ren)’s grades at any time at LTS.powerschool.com. PowerSchool account access information is provided during the first week of the school year and may be requested from the registrar at any time. Parents/guardians may request to meet with their child’s teacher at any time throughout the year to discuss their child’s performance.
