Report Cards

Elementary Report Cards: Grades 1–8

Students in Grades 1 to 8 receive three report cards during the school year:

• Progress Report Card – November
• Term One Report Card – February
• Term Two Report Card – June

The purpose of report cards is to communicate student achievement with parents/guardians and students. Each report includes descriptive feedback that is clear, specific, meaningful, and timely—helping support student growth and learning.

Progress Report Card – November

This report focuses on six key learning skills and work habits essential for success:

• Responsibility
• Organization
• Independent Work
• Collaboration
• Initiative
• Self-Regulation

It does not include letter grades or marks. Instead, teachers provide comments on how students are progressing toward curriculum expectations.

Shortly after the report is sent home, a parent/guardian-teacher interview (with or without the student) provides an opportunity to:

• Discuss the student’s progress
• Review portfolios of student learning
• Set goals and next steps for improvement

Collaboration between teachers, families and students helps support learning and achievement.

Term One & Two Report Cards – February & June

These report cards include:

• Letter grades (Grades 1–6) or numerical marks (Grades 7–8)
• Comments about achievement in each subject area
• Feedback on the six learning skills

Regular communication between home and school is encouraged throughout the year.
