How to Distribute Student Report Cards to Parents

A teacher distributes student report cards to parents by following a process that encourages parent engagement and support.

The teacher: 

• shares the Semester Student Report Card with parents in person during an open classroom event or home visit  
• reviews and highlights students’ successes and areas of improvement  
• emphasises the benefits of a parent or sibling reading with the child several times a week
• celebrates parental success in supporting their child  
• provides positive work samples to take home as a reward for the parents’ involvement in their child’s learning.
