Feedback and Reporting
In all Skill Builders programs, you will receive an introductory call or email from the teacher to review the objectives for your child. This contact will be just prior to the beginning of your child’s program. Each Friday, all students receive from the teacher a copy of their Week In Review outlining their work and accomplishments for that week.
