Each year teachers send home two progress reports (report
cards). Report cards include checklists in core academic areas,
evaluations from specialist classes such as art, music, and physical
education, and brief summaries of academic and social/emotional growth
for each student. In addition, parent conferences are held twice a year.
Teachers schedule conferences in the Fall and in the Spring following
district reporting guidelines. Conferences at Graham & Parks are
approximately 30 minutes long. Teachers typically share student work as
evidence of learning and discuss social emotional as well as academic
growth. In older grades, conferences may include student participation.
