REPORTS

Your son or daughter has received his or her report that they wrote on Bats. This was sent home tonight (May 23). On this report you will notice that there are blue and yellow highlights on the rubric. The blue highlights represent the first mark that your child recieved on this report.  At the bottom of the report you will find my comments to your child regarding his or her strengths as well as a question and next step. This mark and feedback was given to each child independently and orally. They then had time to go back and try and improve right after the oral feedback.  The new improvements were looked at and the report was remarked. This is why there is yellow on the rubric and the comment at the top relates to the changes.  I hope this clarifies things.
