Children who are new to the program will receive a preliminary classroom survey, which denotes the child’s demonstrated interests and skills and is not a graded evaluation of ability. At the preschool level, students records in the classroom consist of skill related checklists of initial presentation, degree of practice, and mastery along with observations and anecdotal records. Elementary student records are more specific as to tracking work. We issue progress reports at parent conference time. These occur twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. Primary grades will receive a more traditional report card type evaluation. You are encouraged to request meetings whenever you want one. Our teachers may request additional conferences whenever they believe it to be appropriate for the child’s needs.
