Mr. Johnston sent a letter to Mr. Saigon South International School regarding a student's academic performance from the 2011-2012 school year. The student showed improvement from their practice tests to actual tests. Their grades increased across all subjects and units, though one unit showed lower performance. The teacher praised the student's improvement and encouraged focusing on continued growth rather than past struggles.

5.  Improvement all across the board. Great job!
◦

6. ◦ You grades are becoming “average” meaning that it
will be hard to bring up a low grade due to an early
bad test.
◦ Bad Test cut policy: Mr. Johnson’s, and Mr. Elshoff’s
discussion.
◦ New semester=fresh start
◦ To parents: “Look at the improvement, don’t relive
the past. That’s not who you are anymore!
