The Importance of Mid Term
Progress Reports
The Discovery School teachers will be sending the first Mid Term Progress Reports this Thursday, September 12. These reports serve an important role in
allowing teachers, students and parents to track how well the student is doing
in school during a 4 week period, before report cards are issued at the end of
each quarter. They give students a chance to correct study habits, modify their
behaviors and make other changes to keep themselves on a positive academic
course.
Purpose - By creating and
sending home progress reports, teachers show parents where their child stand
with their academic achievements and in-class behaviors. Parents may appreciate
this information so that they can reward their children for doing well or make
changes to the at-home schedule by implementing more study time to help kids
get back on track academically.
Student Awareness – Mid term reports
give students an academic advantage. They get to see how well they are in
class. This helps eliminate some of the shock that comes when they get their
end of the quarter or year report cards. With mid term progress reports,
students have the chance to identify their improvement needs and make changes
to bring their grades up before the final report cards are released.
Teacher Tracking - Teachers can track
how well their students are doing in class and learning the material through
school progress cards. By issuing these mid term progress reports, teachers are
forced to review student strengths and weaknesses on a regular basis. The
teacher can then determine whether the lesson needs to be readdressed with the
class. Since teachers have classroom standards to reach, mid term progress
reports can help them see whether the class is meeting those academic
expectations.
Communication Link – Our mid term
progress reports are just anoter communication link between teachers, students
and parents. Through them, everyone
involved has the same information and understanding of the student's progress
in school. This helps keep information consistent between all parties and opens
the door for communication between teachers and students, students and parents
and teachers and parents to the benefit of the student's education.
What to do next? – Take the time to
sit down and discuss the reports with your child. Please sign and return the
mid term progress reports to your child’s teacher. If you would like to discuss
the mid term progress reports in a conference, and one has not been requested
by a tecaher, please call the school as soon as possible to set up an
appointment. Our students’ educational achievement and success are our goal,
and your involment as parents is crucial in achieving this.
