Prairie South is introducing a new progress report for students in the English program in grades 1 to 8. The new progress report does not look much different than the previous report card used in PSSD. The new report card aligns our grading and reporting practices to ensure the information reported to students and parents is in reference to the provincial outcomes. In 2016 – 2017, teachers may use descriptors and/or percentages to report student progress. In the 2017 – 2018 school year, grades 1 – 8 teachers will use descriptors to report student progress. A parent information session will be announced in October. All are encouraged to attend.
