Summary

Stakeholders applauded the clearer report card format and dropdowns; presenters confirmed no students served on the elementary committee, said they will survey parents and staff, and were receptive to a proposal to survey 5th graders on understanding the report card.

Several participants thanked presenters for clearer language and the dropdown comments that reduce repetitive teacher writing. Committee member (S5) said the dropdown menu will make teachers’ frequent comments easier to capture and more consistent for families. "Also, thank you for the dropdown menu because I've seen the report cards. It's been a lot of writing for the teachers for every single student," the committee member said.

Presenter (S2) confirmed there were no students on the elementary committee. Committee member (S8) suggested a brief survey of 5th graders to see whether students understand their progress and can advocate for themselves; presenters agreed the idea was worth exploring. Presenters reiterated they will send surveys to teachers, administrators and parents and meet quarterly to review feedback and make adjustments.
