This alternative report card represents our primary aim:<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to improve our communication about student achievement towards learning goals with you<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. As you review, please notice there are now multiple grades assigned within each course. In addition to your student\u2019s achievement grade, there is a grade for responsibility and another grade for classroom engagement (we call these Academic Support Factors).\u00a0 By offering separate grades\u00a0 in this way, you are provided a more accurate and comprehensive picture of what your student is accomplishing in school\u2013 and more specific direction to make improvements if needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the goal of improving our communication to parents about student\u2019s progress toward learning goals, we hope you find this additional detail helpful. Throughout the school year, we will gather stakeholder feedback and evaluate the progress of this alternative reporting structure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are interested in learning more about this alternative report card and BASD\u2019s overall effort to improve assessment and grading, please join us for our BASD Parent Academy on Zoom.
