Report Cards – What Do They Tell You About Your Child’s Achievement?
Report cards should never come as a surprise to families. Rather, report cards summarize student achievement at a point in time. They are just one way teachers communicate about how well your child is meeting the outcomes in various subjects. In addition to the report cards, schools regularly communicate with families about their child’s progress through parent/teacher interviews, celebrations of learning, and the results of tests, quizzes and assignments throughout the year.
