“The Report Card”

reportcardBy Ellen A. Sandidge, MSW
Retired Pittsburgh Public Schools Social Worker

Most school districts in the Pittsburgh area have issued their first quarter evaluation of student progress. The name may be different in the districts but essentially the “Report Card” gives parents a tangible way of determining how well their child is doing.  Too many times parents only rely on this measure of their child’s progress because they don’t realize that more can be determined by using the report card as the entrance to much more critical data.

The “report card” does not tell you about the academic performance level,
 that is, where your child is as related to grade level.  If your child is in the fifth grade and is performing at a third grade level there is a problem so it is very important that you know about grade level performance.  [Click here for more] »
