Stay informed and involved in your child’s learning journey! At Grants Pass Adventist School, we prioritize clear, consistent communication between school and home to ensure every student succeeds.
Tracking Progress
We provide detailed updates on your child’s growth throughout the school year:
- Quarterly Progress Reports: You will receive formal updates at the end of every quarter. Reports for the 1st and 3rd quarters are shared during in-person conferences, while 2nd and 4th-quarter reports are mailed home.
- Standardized Testing: Each Fall, Winter, and Spring Kindergarten to 8th Grade students participate in district MAPS Testing. These national tests help us measure academic growth and ensure our classrooms meet the high standards set by the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventist Education.
Partnering with Parents
You are your child’s first teacher, and we value your partnership!
- Parent-Teacher Conferences: Join us at the end of the 1st and 3rd quarters to discuss your child’s achievements and goals.
- Open Communication: Have a question? You don’t have to wait for a conference. Our teachers and principal are always available to chat about your child’s development.
