Progress Report/Grade
Update/Parent Communication
In the past, I have printed grade
reports and the students have been required to take them home for
a signature and bring them back for a grade. This was to ensure
parents/guardians were aware of students' progress. With the
availability of online grade portals, I have changed this
assignment. In an effort to promote more family involvement and
accountability, and to decrease paper usage, the assignment is now
as follows:
*All grades
are posted online and can be accessed here (https://srcs.illuminatehc.com/login)
*Each student has 5 weeks to do the following:
- Discuss with parent/guardian current grade; what
student is doing well and what needs to be improved
- Have parent/guardian communicate
with me regarding the student's grade/progress/comments
*Communication can be an email, phone call or written/typed
letter (any time within each 5 week period)
*Parent/guardian indicates s/he is aware of the grade his/her
student has in the class, addresses what the student is doing
well and needs to improve, and communicates comments or
questions for me. Communication doesn't need to be long - just
cover those topics (a few sentences should be fine).
If you need to translate, I suggest using an online translating
tool (e.g. GoogleTranslate),
then copy and paste into the email. Select Earth Science
or General
Psychology on the home page to access my contact
information.
*The dates will be set on the assignment calendar and it is the
student's responsibility to make sure his/her parent/guardian
makes contact with me within that 5 week period.
*If no contact is made within that 5 week period, the student's
score will be a zero (0) for this assignment. (The category is
Class Preparedness)
Thank you for taking an active role in your student's education
and if there is anything I can do to help be a part of his/her
success, please communicate with me.
