<p>**Question: We moved very late in the school year when my son was a freshman. He attended the last 7 weeks of school and his 4th quarter grades at the new school were all C’s and 1 D in French. His grades since then have been good, his cumulative without those marks would be around 3.75 unweighted …</p>
<p>What’s the best approach to mitigate the damage do a terrible freshman report card? Should he address it in his essay or let the grade trend speak for itself?**</p>
