Announcements: Report Cards

Hi everyone,

Report cards are being sent home on Monday. I know this can be an anxious time, but report cards aren't meant to shock you in any way. I've tried my best to keep you in the loop of how your child is doing.

We are given so little space for each subject, sometimes it doesn't flow within each subject, so to help you out, I have given you a break down of what was commented on for each subject. Please note that this is simply a skeleton, and some things may have been modified.

Note:

• If you see a comment with no last name behind it, I have commented on it. If you see the last name of another teacher, that is obviously theirs.
• All expectations being commented on are based on the FDK Curriculum 
• I have 6 subjects to comment on for 29 children, so no, they will not be extremely individualized. Due to the fact that report cards are sent home so close to the end of the school year, interviews will not be available. These are the final reports that will be filed in your student's record. Every child will move on to the next grade. I am not available to talk to over the summer.
