What do they mean by EA applicants keeping them up to date on grades?

What do they mean by EA applicants keeping them up to date with their grades? If I have finished first quarter, should I send them my first quarter grades?

A user on the EA thread asked admissions. The response was:

As I also said on the thread, some HS’s send out 1st quarter grades as Standard Operating Procedure. Additionally, it is not uncommon for Harvard to contact the GC if they want an update, either formal or informal. If they want an update, they will ask your school; they don’t need/want thousands of emails from applicants saying that they got a 4.0 again for the quarter.

Of course, feel free to contact Harvard to confirm.
