End of Report Cards - DELAYED

Parents, Guardians, and Students in Grades 6-11:

Please be aware that we will be unable to run secondary report cards until we receive End of Course (EOC) scores from the Florida Department of Education (FDOE). These scores are necessary to process final averages for courses ending with these exams. This will cause a delay in receiving secondary report cards. Once final grades are calculated and report cards are prepared you will receive notice from your child's school concerning next steps. We will also update this message to let you know when final grades and electronic report cards are available in FOCUS.

Thank you for your patience as we wait to receive these scores from the FDOE-
