  • Your child is received his/her Mid-Quarter Progress Report on Friday. The Mid-Quarter Progress Report provides you with your child’s performance in each of the subjects as of the 24th week of the school year. Teachers may not have enough grades to determine your child’s progress in a particular subject. In those cases, a slash mark (/) or no grade will appear on the report. Keep in mind, this is a report of your child’s current progress. We will continue to assess your child’s progress through the end of the third quarter. The third quarter report card will be issued on Thursday, April 22nd. Please monitor your child’s progress and, if necessary, contact the classroom teacher to discuss specific areas. It is important for us to work together to ensure all students are meeting the grade level standards. Grades 1-5 parents/guardians should sign the report and return the bottom portion of the report to your child’s homeroom/teacher.
  • 20 students from our Sister School in Mexico City are coming to Chicago.  We are in need of host families from (tentative) April 28, 2010 to May 8, 2010. The students are in grades 7th, 8th & 9th, speak English, and are so very excited about this opportunity. Information Session will be held on March 11th at 6:00 p.m. in Room 513 at Ogden's West Campus.
  • Wanted -- Host Family for the 2010-2011 School Year. One student from our Sister School in Mexico City is taking a year abroad; he has chosen Ogden to complete 10th grade. This student has strong English skills, a proven academic record and stellar personal attributes. Room and board expenses will be paid to the host family.  Additionally the visiting student will have his own financial resources.
