It's Report Card time again! The Manitoba Provincial Report Card is intended to be a tool for schools to communicate with parents about student learning. In Grades 1-6, students receive a report card with indicators for a variety of the learning processes in each subject area. Note that this is different than receiving a "mark" in a course (Students in Grades 7-12 receive a percentage grade in addition to the indicators).
The first page of the report card provides a key for understanding the indicators. Along with the indicators, teachers include a comment on your child's learning, which includes strengths, challenges and next steps. The report card is primarily to inform you of your child's progress but it can also be a valuable tool when discussing learning goals with your child.
