212. Reporting Student Progress

1. Purpose

Pol. 216

The Board believes that cooperation between school and home is a vital ingredient in the growth and education of each student. The Board acknowledges the school's responsibility to keep parents informed of student welfare and academic progress and also recognizes the effects of state and federal laws and regulations governing student records.

2. Authority

The Board directs establishment of a system of reporting student progress that requires all appropriate staff members to comply, as part of their teaching responsibility, with a reporting system which includes interim reports, report cards, and parent conferences with teachers.

3. Delegation of Responsibility

The Superintendent or designee, in conjunction with appropriate staff members, shall develop procedures for reporting student progress to parents and guardians.

4. Guidelines

Various methods of reporting appropriate to grade level and curriculum content shall be utilized.

Both student and parent shall receive ample warning of a pending grade of failure or one that would adversely affect the student's academic status.

Scheduling of parent-teacher conferences should occur at times that ensure the greatest degree of participation by parents.

Parents/Guardians shall be informed of student progress at intervals of not less than nine (9) weeks.

Review and evaluation of methods of reporting student progress to parents shall be conducted on a periodic basis.
