The San Diego Unified School District is now using a Standards-Based Report Card (SBRC) at the elementary level. This is an exciting step for our schools as we work towards ensuring that all students are successful at meeting grade-level standards. Standards describe what a student should know and be able to do at each grade level in all subjects, and this new report card is designed to give parents more and better information about how their children are progressing. On the report card, parents will learn whether or not their child is proficient—meaning that the child has met grade-level standards, basic—meaning that the child is approaching the standards, below basic—meaning that the child has not met the standards, or advanced—meaning that the child has exceeded the standards. The report card will also provide information on student work habits. More Information |

Ten Tips for a Successful Parent-Teacher Conference (Peggy Gisler, Ed.,S., and Marge Eberts, Ed.S.). Although parent/teacher conferences are next month, here are some things to keep in mind as you prepare for your conference. Ask your child if there is anything that he would like you to discuss with the teacher. Jot down everything that you want to talk about at the conference. Arrive promptly or a few minutes early. Begin with positive comments about the teacher or classroom. Avoid lengthy discussions of topics that are not related to the purpose of the conference. Be open-minded to suggestions from the teacher. Keep your emotions under control. Take notes about what has been discussed to share with your child. Express appreciation for the conference. Do not stay beyond your allotted time.
