Dear Elementary Parents and Guardians;

Thank you for your continued dialogue and feedback about our Report Card Process. We know that standards based reporting it is a big shift from traditional reporting and we know how much learning you have had to do with us along the way. The focus is always to use Report Cards as a tool to communicate with families about the progress their child is making, so we want to make it usable for families while communicating key information about student learning. Please review some proposed changes to our reporting system to provide feedback and help us continue to improve our efforts.

Question Title

* 1. One proposal suggests changing the first term report card to a formal conference with a conference summary sheet. The conference would be focused on discussing your child's transition to the new grade level, highlighting your child's strengths and areas of improvement by reviewing the progress he/she made the previous school year, and setting goals for his/her academic success for the current school year based on his/her progress to date.

How do you feel about this suggestion?

Question Title

* 2. Another proposal suggests reducing the number of standards reported within each subject area. This would mean fewer, more global standards within each content area.

How do you feel about this suggestion?

Question Title

* 3. As we continue with standards based report cards, what other ideas do you believe would help improve our communication regarding student progress?
