Report Cards/Progress Reports IKAB 8/13/08


RATIONALE/OBJECTIVE:

The Curriculum and Instruction Division of the District shall devise a system to report student progress to parents/guardians.

RULE: 

See Administrative Rule IKA (Grading Systems) for guidelines regarding the changing of a student’s grade.

 

A. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL:

    Student progress in the elementary schools shall be reported as follows:

    1. Progress updates shall be issued to parents/guardians after 4.5 weeks of each quarter.

    2. Progress reports describing the student's progress in grades K-5 shall be issued to

        parents/guardians at the end of each nine-week period.

    3. Parent-teacher conferences shall be scheduled with parents/guardians of all

        elementary students (Administrative Rule IDB [Released Time: Minimum Day, Early

        Release and Conference Week]).

    4. It shall be the responsibility of teachers to notify parents/guardians of students'

        scholastic deficiencies.

    5.  Reports indicating pupil placement for the next school year will be mailed to

        parents/guardians after the close of each school year if a stamped, self-addressed

        envelope is provided by the parent/guardian, or they may be picked up at the main

        office of each school.

 

B. MIDDLE SCHOOL:

    1. Progress updates shall be issued to parents/guardians after 4.5 weeks of each quarter.

    2. Progress reports describing the student's progress in grades 6-8 shall be issued to

        parents/guardians at the end of each nine-week period.

    3. While progress reports shall give the mid-quarter progress update and the end-of-

        quarter report, only the end-of-quarter report shall be posted on the cumulative

        record.

    4. It shall be the responsibility of teachers to notify parents/guardians of students'

        scholastic deficiencies. These may include deficiencies on progress reports as well as

        deficiencies related to the continuation criteria for advanced content courses.

    5. Schools should make efforts to inform parents/guardians/students when the student is

        in danger of failing a course. Where possible, a deficiency notice (academic

        alert/progress update) should precede a failing grade by a minimum of ten school

        days.

    6. Report cards may be mailed to parents/guardians after the close of each school year

        if a stamped envelope is provided by the parent/guardian, or they may be picked up

        in the main office of each school.

 

C. HIGH SCHOOL:

    1. Grades of students in grades 9-12 shall be reported to parents/guardians at six-

        weeks intervals and when the final course grade is given at the close of the

        semester.

    2. Schools should make efforts to inform parents/guardians/students when the student is

        in danger of failing a course. Where possible, a deficiency notice (academic

        alert/progress update) should precede a failing grade by a minimum of ten school

        days.

    3. Progress reports may be mailed to parents/guardians after the close of each school

        year if a stamped envelope is provided by the parent/guardian, or they may be picked

        up in the main office of each school.

 

D. NON-CUSTODIAL PARENT ACCESS:

    See Administrative Rule KBBA (Non-Custodial Parent) for guidelines for

    mailing/distributing report cards to non-custodial parents.
