Dear Middle School (MS) Families,
This afternoon at 4pm, you will have access to your student’s interim comments report for the spring semester. These comments summarize months of hard work and productivity, and also include coaching comments so that Middle School students can continue to grow and improve. You access the comments through the D-E website. Please see the instructions listed below.
The is the fifth of seven formal Middle School family communications designed to provide information about your student as a learner and a person. In a few weeks you will receive spring interim grades for 7th and 8th graders. In June you will get the final grade report that will summarize your student’s progress over the spring semester and the school year.
The Middle School teachers have put great thought into the comments. The comments are written with the students as the intended audience. As you read the comments, I encourage you to think along several concurrent lines. First, look for overall strengths and challenges. Secondly, look for academic growth and performance. Finally, look for the references to the Student as Learner traits. Engage your child in a conversation about the comments and his/her perspective on them. Help set reasonable goals and develop an action plan. This is the process of learning and growth, and the Middle School values the parent partnership in helping each student make progress. Working together, we can help the children learn the skills of self-reflection, making adjustments, and goal setting.
Regards,
Jonathan
