Ontario introduces "Elementary Progress Reports"
Starting this September, Ontario schools will stop issuing fall report cards to elementary school pupils. Instead, parents will receive a largely anecdotal "Elementary Progress Report" that will indicate progress rather than grades.
Teachers will use the following letter symbols to report on students’ development of the six learning skills and work habits:
E – Excellent, G – Good, S – Satisfactory and N – Needs Improvement
Teachers will use the Elementary Progress Report Card to inform parents of the progress students are making towards achievement of the curriculum expectations for each subject or strand. Teachers will check one of the following to indicate progress:
Progressing With Difficulty, Progressing Well and Progressing Very Well
Teachers in Ontario have pushed for years to get rid of the report cards, which are usually issued in late October or early November, saying they come too soon after the start of the school year.
