Why Customize Your School's Report Cards

It is easy to use a report card template to grade your students with the usual A, B, C or 1, 2, 3 grades. But if you want to have more creative license to express your school's educational philosphy, then it is time to customize your report cards.

Some schools want fewer grades with more space for meaningful teacher comments.

Some even have the students to add their own narrative on the report card.

Showing student progress with graphs, description of what the purpose of class project, or show sample work.

Perhaps you are from a school that wants to elaborate and needs a 9 page report card to truly give the parent every angle possible to see their child's achievements and areas that need improvement.

A school with miminalist approach that only requires a √, + - (Check, plus, minus) and a meaningful comment from teachers.

A meaningful report card should reflect the educational philosphy of the school or district.

Customizing the descriptors, the grades, content, and ways to express studnet progress can be expressed in a child's report card.
