8. Pick up MID-TERM PROGRESS REPORT FORMS from the front desk in the TRiO Office or the sign-in desk in the TLC. Give them to your instructors this week, and ask to get them back by next week. This information will let you know how you are doing in each class, and let you know if you need to adjust in any class to be successful. We strongly encourage you to take this empowering step to know how you are doing in your classes. If you need to consult with us, please do so!   Take good care and please come see us in TRiO!   Warm Regards, Mary
