How is student progress monitored and reported to parents?
Each teacher creates a portfolio for each of their students to show representations of the child’s best and most important work. The teacher provides detailed midyear and year-end narrative reports for each child and continually documents each child’s academic and social progress. In addition, the teacher holds midyear and end of year conferences with the child and his or her parent(s) or caretaker(s). The teacher communicates with families in writing twice each month, and more if needed, about the academic work and social environment of the class as a whole. Finally, by participating in the classroom, parents observe their children in the classroom on a weekly basis and have a strong sense of the thematic flow.
