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.
