Progress Reports

A progress report provides a snapshot of a student's Grade Book up to a designated point in the school year and is commonly thought of as a report card.

A transcript is an official record of a student's completed coursework and grades supplied by the student's school. Unlike a progress report, which shows a student's academic information for a given school year, transcripts provide information about the student's entire academic history.
