Progress Reports

Homeschool Progress Reports (from Parents) are due at the time of your Mid-Year Facilitation.  There will be a workshop on January 16 from 10-11:00 a.m. to assist parents with creating their Mid-Year Homeschool Progress Reports.  This workshop will take place in the Windsor Park School Family Flex Room. 

CBE Shared Responsibility Report Cards (Created by Teachers) will be available to view on your MyCBE account on January 27 if your child is taking classes at Windsor Park School.

Thank You and Wishing everyone a wonderful January!

Your CBE Home Education and Shared Responsibility Teams!
