Report cards come out once a quarter. The card is divided into two sections: the first giving marks for academic areas and the second marks for study habits and skills that support learning. The report card is intended to give parents information about a child's growth and areas for improvement. The report card should be something that is celebrated for the accomplishments achieved. If there are areas for improvement, discuss those with your child and brainstorm with her or him about ways improvement might happen in the next grading period. Be gentle with our little learners as their egos are fragile. The report card is only a glimpse of a moment in time. In no way does the report card define him or her for what he or she can be as this is only the beginning of the personal learning journey!
