5420 - REPORTING STUDENT PROGRESS

The School Board believes that the cooperation of school and home is a vital ingredient to the growth and education of the whole child. It recognizes its responsibility to keep parents informed of student welfare and progress in school.

The Board directs the establishment of a system of reporting student progress which shall include written reports, and shall require all appropriate staff members to comply with such a system as part of their professional responsibility.

The Superintendent, in conjunction with appropriate staff members, shall develop administrative guidelines for reporting student progress to parents which:

1. ensure that both student and parent receive ample warning of a pending grade of "failure" or one that would adversely affect the student's status;
2. enable the scheduling of parent-teacher conferences at such times and in such places as will ensure the greatest degree of participation by parents;
3. ensure that one (1) or more orientation sessions, established in accordance with State guidelines, are held for parents of students who will attend a summer State-mandated testing and assessments remediation program  and for those whose children are participants in the Corporation's program for at-risk students;
4. ensure a continual review and improvement of methods of reporting student progress to parents.

Statewide Assessment Scores

After each school receives the results of student statewide assessment scores in schools that conduct parent/teacher conferences, a teacher who is currently teaching a student shall discuss the student's statewide assessment results with the parent at the next parent/teacher conference.
