Greetings, Elementary Parents!
We have made a few changes to our reporting system at the elementary level this year!
Elementary report cards and progress reports will be distributed electronically this year. Families will be notified ahead of the reporting period that the documents are available in Skyward. Skyward can be accessed through ANY computer, tablet, or smartphone. Please be sure that you have shared your most updated email address with your child’s school so that you will have access. If you need assistance accessing the parent portal in Skyward, please follow this link: http://www.bsd-ri.net/for-parents-and-students/skyward Paper copies of report cards and progress reports will be made available to families by request. Please contact your school’s principal.
There will not be a written progress report in the first trimester. Our elementary reporting period in the first trimester coincides with parent-teacher conferences, and we would much prefer to share your child’s progress in person! Please watch for information from your child’s teacher so that you can take advantage of the opportunity to meet.
We are moving to a “true” standards-based grading system. All standards are end-of-year standards, and children have an entire school year to meet them. Your child’s grades will always reflect where s/he is on the journey to meeting those standards. This means that you should expect to see 2s and 3s on your child’s report card in the first trimester, and these are not cause for concern. They indicate that your child is progressing appropriately for his/her age and grade level.
If you have any questions about the new report card or Skyward, please contact Mrs. Julie Mayhew, Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, at 568-1301, extension 5 or mayhewj@bsd-ri.net .
