Progress reporting and Procedures

Students Progress    BP 5120

The primary responsibility of the professional educator within a system of public education shall be to provide the best possible learning experience for the greatest number of students while recognizing the needs of the individual child. Reporting continuous student progress and achievement is consistent with this goal and should be considered an integral part of the teaching and learning process. Reporting student progress and achievement is essential in facilitating communication between the student, his parents or guardians, and those within the teaching profession. Finally the reporting process is intended to assist teacher and learner in evaluating the students mastery of established course and grade level objectives. It is the intention in the Fremont Unified School District for a grade to:

A. Reflect academic achievement.

B. Be related to established evaluative criteria which are well understood by students and parents and which are consistently interpreted by teachers.

C. Be accepted as an objective evaluation of performance and an indication of successful performance at increasingly difficult levels of work.

Teachers will send out progress reports to families each Trimester at the elementary school.  Parents should receive progress reports of students who are performing below standards every six weeks into each Trimester.
