STUDENT PROGRESS REPORTS TO PARENTS

Continuous and ongoing communication with parents around the progress and achievement of their children is a key component of the total learning process.  While the Portland Public Schools has designated days in its calendar for parent/student/teacher conferencing, we understand and value the importance of regular communication between home and school.

All children, especially those of school age, are in a constant state of development.  There are many variables constantly affecting their development, and many ways to evaluate progress.  It is important that:

1. Reports should provide accurate and complete reflections of significant indicators in student achievement;
2. Reports should reflect the accomplishment relative to goals that are acceptable and understandable to both child and teacher;
3. Behavior factors shall not be used to depress or inflate the reporting of academic achievement;
4. Predictions beyond the immediate present situation shall not be included in the reports; and
5. Teachers shall include the cognitive and affective progress of development noting strengths and weaknesses in both academic and emotional areas in their reports.
