Progress Reports

Your child is bringing home an official Progress Report and/or a current Grade Printout. These grades reflect how your child is doing at this time.  Please note that grades may change by report card time.  

Here are some important things to keep in mind:

·         In our class, we celebrate a Growth Mindset. Look at the Progress Report/Grade Printout as an opportunity to encourage your child in areas where he/she needs growth, rather than punish him/her for “bad grades”.

o        Ask him/her, “How can you better understand the material?”

o        “Are you really doing your best work?”

o        “Are you using the strategies you have learned to solve the problems?”

o        “Are you paying attention in class when instructions are being given?”

·         This is the first year they are getting letter grades [A, B, C, D, F], and are still learning to study for tests, etc. This is a skill they will develop as students this year.

Remember that tests with a score lower than 70% can be redone for up to a 70%.
