Report cards
Learning Skills Comment Builder
Choose a skill, a level, and the behaviours you actually saw, and get a comment draft you can edit. Covers all six Ontario learning skills and work habits.
Open the builder →Elementary Report Card Comments
The Grades 1 to 8 guide: the learning skills box parents actually read, Language and math comments, honest next steps and a free tracking sheet.
Read the guide →High School Report Card Comments
The Grades 9 to 12 guide: a five-sentence course comment built on real evidence, learning skills that agree with the mark, and what to write below 50.
Read the guide →Report Card Next Steps
The report card asks you to name next steps for improvement. These are examples that give a student something specific to do, instead of telling them to keep up the good work.
See the examples →Student evaluation
Grade Curve Calculator
See what a curve would do to a set of marks before you apply it — and an honest look at when curving fits Ontario's criterion-referenced assessment and when it doesn't.
Open the calculator →Weighted Gradebook Template
A free Excel gradebook with weighted categories and weighted assignments. The final mark works itself out, with a learning skills tab and an AI comment prompt built in. Free to use and free to share.
