Understanding the Lassiter Progress Report & Intervention Leveling
Understanding the Lassiter Progress Report & Intervention Leveling
A Guide for Parents and Guardians
This page is designed to help families understand how the Lassiter Progress Report works, how to read it, and how to respond to the information it provides. The progress report is a tool to support early communication, shared accountability, and student success.
The Lassiter Progress Report is designed to give families a clear snapshot of how a student is doing in three key areas: attendance, behavior, and academics.
Unlike a report card, which reflects final grades at the end of a grading period, the progress report highlights current patterns and areas that may need attention. Its purpose is to identify concerns early so students, families, and the school can work together to provide support before challenges become more difficult to address.
The progress report is most effective when families actively respond to the data.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to:
Review the progress report with their student
Look for patterns, not just individual data points
Talk with their student about challenges and next steps
Reach out if they are unsure how to interpret or respond to the report
Student success is strongest when data, communication, and partnership are aligned. Early communication allows the school and family to work together proactively.
If you have questions or are unsure how to respond to your student’s progress report, please contact your student’s counselor or a member of the school staff. We are here to help
Lassiter’s expectations and intervention system work together to identify trends that may be hindering student success and respond early with appropriate support.
The system is intentionally designed to be:
Objective – based on clearly defined criteria
Transparent – students and families can see how expectations and levels are determined
Collaborative – support happens through partnership between students, families, and school staff
Expectations
Students are reviewed every three weeks in three categories:
Attendance
Behavior
Academics
To be considered as having met expectations in a category, a student must meet all criteria within that category.
Attendance Expectations
No more than 2 unexcused absences in any class
No more than 3 tardies in any class
Behavior Expectations
No behavior concerns, or concerns in only one class
0 discipline referrals
Academic Expectations
No failing classes, or one failing class with a grade of 65 or higher
No missing or late work concerns, or concerns in only one class
100% completion of Sunday Funday*
*Sunday Funday is a school-wide activity where students and parents or guardians are expected to sit down together to:
Review current grades
Review upcoming assignments
Set academic goals for the week
Intervention Levels
Each student receives an intervention level for each category:
Attendance
Behavior
Academics
The four intervention levels are:
Level 1
Warning
Level 2
Level 3
At the beginning of each semester, all students start at Level 1 in all categories.
If a student does not meet expectations in a category during a review cycle, their level for that category moves up one level.
If a student meets expectations, their level may move down one level, until returning to Level 1.
Levels accumulate during the semester and are reset at the start of a new semester.
Overall Intervention Level
A student’s overall intervention level is determined by the highest level across the three categories.
Example:
Attendance: Level 1
Behavior: Level 1
Academics: Warning
➡️ Overall Intervention Level: Warning
Supports & Accountability
Intervention levels are used to guide both support and accountability.
Students at an Overall Level 2 are not permitted to leave campus for lunch until their level is reduced.
Students at an Overall Level 3 will not have access to the gym during lunch until their level is reduced.
These measures are temporary and are intended to provide structure while students work toward meeting expectations.
There is no single preset intervention for each level. Supports are based on student needs and collaboration among staff, students, and families.
A Note on Data Accuracy
The progress report is designed to share information as quickly as possible. Because data is collected from multiple sources, occasional inaccuracies may occur.
Intervention levels are temporary and can be reviewed and adjusted if data is inaccurate.
Families are encouraged to reach out if something appears incorrect or unclear. Early communication helps ensure the report accurately reflects the student’s situation.
The progress report is organized so families can easily connect a student’s schedule, class-level feedback, expectations, and intervention levels.
Sections that appear next to each other are intentionally aligned to help identify patterns quickly.
Title Section
This section includes:
The title of the report
The specific three-week period the report reflects
The date range identifies the timeframe used to review attendance, behavior, and academic expectations.
Course Schedule
The Course Schedule section appears next to the Course Feedback section and includes:
Student name
Student ID
Current course schedule by period
If a course is listed as “INET”, it indicates an online course that does not meet during a traditional class period.
Families should reference the Course Schedule while reviewing Course Feedback to identify patterns across the school day.
Course Feedback
The Course Feedback section appears next to the Course Schedule and shows class-by-class data for the current review cycle.
Each row represents a course.
Current Grade
Shows the student’s current percentage grade
May be blank if:
The course has not started (e.g., dual credit)
Grades have not yet been entered
The course does not earn credit
Parents should follow the Sunday Funday process to review grades and assignments.
Failing grades and corresponding course names are highlighted in red.
Attendance (U and T)
U = Unexcused absences
T = Tardies
Counts reflect that course during the cycle.
Cells are highlighted in red if expectations are exceeded.
Behavior Indicators
Checkboxes indicate whether a teacher reported:
Distracts Peers
Disrespectful Communication
Multiple Redirections
Failed Class Expectations
Checked boxes are highlighted in red.
Missing or Late Work
Checkbox indicates missing or late work during the cycle
Checked boxes are highlighted in red
Understanding Red Highlights
Red highlights signal areas that did not meet expectations and should be reviewed. They are indicators for support, not punishment.
Lassiter Expectations Table
Located below the Course Schedule, this table lists:
Categories
Subcategories
Criteria reviewed each cycle
It serves as a reference for understanding Course Feedback and Leveling decisions.
Intervention Leveling
Located below Course Feedback, aligned with the Expectations table.
Each row corresponds to Attendance, Behavior, or Academics.
Columns include:
Met Expectations (Checkbox) – checked if all criteria were met
Description – explains why expectations were or were not met
Example: “Completed 0/3 Sunday Fundays”
Current Intervention Level
New Intervention Level
Overall Intervention Level
The overall level reflects the highest category level.
