Mid-Term Grade/Comment Reports

The 24-hour accessibility to student progress using the parent portal of PowerSchool, coupled with the resource-saving concept of "going green," has led Woodlawn to make a change in how we provide mid-term student progress reports.  Woodlawn will not be sending home printed mid-term reports to parents this year.  We've been weaning ourselves off of this practice for some time, and now is the time to move on to our new system of reporting mid-term grades and comments.

On Tuesday, September 20, all Woodlawn teachers will personally begin contacting parents of students who are earning letter grades less than a C, or who have shown a pattern of behaviors that has caused a concern in the learning environment.  In order to provide parents a clear snapshot of student progress, all student grades will be updated in PowerSchool on Wednesday, September 28. 

The Quarter 1 reporting period ends on Friday, October 28, so we believe that providing an update on our struggling students during this upcoming week will afford students ample time to seek ways in which to improve upon their achievement- and for parents and teachers to increase their communication about students.  Teachers may contact parents via email or phone, depending upon your preference.  However, understanding that most everyone has quite a busy schedule, we request that parents confirm that they have received a voicemail or email, with a reply.  It is important to all of us at Woodlawn that our message is clear and productive.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact either Greg or me at ggrana@kcsd96.org or cmurphy@kcsd96.org or at 847.353.8500.
