A message from Paul Louis - Director of Curriculum and Assessment
Dear Parents,
As you know, our first Trimester Report Cards go home today for students in grades 1-5. Our Kindergarten Report Cards are being provided to you during your scheduled Parent/Teacher Conference. We are very pleased to share our newly developed standards based report cards with you as we believe that they clearly communicate student achievement of grade level specific learning targets and student work habits. We have worked hard over the last weeks and months to prepare for these new report cards. Our teachers have been amazing throughout this entire process from gathering information about each of the learning targets listed on the report card and building consistency across their grade level to learning the new process of inputting grades into the program.
Please understand that with any new system, we may find a few glitches or issues during this first round of Report Cards. Some we may not have been able to anticipate until the entire process was completed. We will work hard to correct or improve any of the issues over the coming months and into next year. We appreciate your patience and understanding through this process. Please feel free to direct any questions comments to your building principal or to me directly (plouis@kcsd96.org). Please remember to fill out the Parent/Teacher Conference Evaluation Form provided to you during your conferences. Your feedback will be used as we continue to make improvements to the system.
Sincerely,
Paul Louis
Director of Curriculum and Assessment
Report Cards go home today! This is a link to a presentation that will help you with the report card. Check it out! A podcast will be available soon too! UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHILD'S ELEMENTARY REPORT CARD
Conferences will be on November 21st ad 22nd.
We are so eager to prepare for conferences to discuss your child’s achievement thus far in the school year. Our teachers are thrilled to invite you into the classroom and share examples of your child’s success during Parent-Teacher conferences (November 21st and 22nd). These meetings will be held for 15 minutes so we can make sure that each family has the opportunity to discuss student performance. Look for your specific appointment time and date in a note from your child’s classroom teacher.
I would love to see you at conferences as well! Feel free to call the school to set-up an appointment. Also, if you wish, find time to stop by the gym and preview the materials that will be used for upcoming units on Human Growth and Development.
