5420A - REPORTING STUDENT PROGRESS

Reporting student progress serves many purposes, the most important of which is helping students and their parents understand how well the student is achieving program objectives and accomplishing the educational goals of the Corporation.

To comply with School Board Policy 5420, each principal, in cooperation with the school's professional staff, is to prepare for the Superintendent's approval a plan for progress reporting that includes how:

1. report cards will be prepared, reviewed, and then delivered to parents;
2. follow-up will occur whenever a parent conference produces a plan of action for helping a student improve or maintain current performance.

Also, to comply with School Board Policy 5420, each principal, after receipt of statewide results, shall arrange for a teacher who currently teaches a student who completed the most recent statewide assessment to discuss the results with the student's parent. This may take place through arranged parent-teacher conferences or through notices sent by the teacher offering to meet with the parent to discuss the results.

Included in the plan should be a mechanism for ensuring that any written communication to the parents is concise, accurate, understandable, in proper grammatical form, and correctly spelled.

Each school's plan should be presented to the Superintendent for review, possible revision, and approval by May 1 of each year.
