If you blinked, you may have missed it. Another grading term has come to an end, and report cards have been issued. Many school divisions have moved to electronic grade reporting, so gone are the days of a closely-guarded, marked envelope tucked in your child’s backpack signalling that grades have arrived. Gone are the days of a signature returning to school to acknowledge your receipt and review of the paper document.
Now more than ever, it is critical that parents are plugged in and aware of when grading periods end, especially if your child is teetering on the edge of passing and failing grades. So now you’ve reviewed the online grading report. What should your next steps be if your child’s grades suggest they are struggling in their classes?
Stay Calm
Analyze
Understanding WHY assignments are missed or not completed is a critical element to making a plan for this quarter. Are there big-point tests that didn’t go well? Again, taking a look at the “why” will help you know what to do next. Did they not understand the material, or do they struggle with study skills to prepare for the tests?
