5420 - REPORTING STUDENT PROGRESS
The Board of Education 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 parent teacher conferences and shall require all staff members to comply with such system as part of their teaching responsibilities.
The Superintendent, or delegate, in conjunction with appropriate teaching staff members should develop procedures for reporting student progress to parents or guardians which:
ensure that both student and parent receive an interim report during the fifth week of the nine (9) week grading period which would give ample warning of a pending grade of failure or one that would adversely affect the student’s status;
enable the scheduling of parent-teacher conferences;
specifies the issuance of report cards at nine (9) week intervals;
ensures continual review and improvement of methods of reporting student progress to parents.
