A Report Card From
Home to the School
In the world in which we live today, everything
seems upside down. Millions of dollars are being spent each year on education.
Is the school your child attends and your School District
making the grade?
Is your school and your School District meeting the challenge
of high standards in academic excellence and setting solid boundaries to
provide a safe learning environment for your student?
Has your student benefited from an outstanding program or
superior instruction from an individual teacher?
As parents, there is a growing sense of concern
when faced with the daily responsibility of providing for the needs of
our children as students, in the society in which we live.
Do you know what your child is
learning at each grade level?
Are your school districts providing a customer friendly environment
for parents to come to with concerns?
Is there a partnership in communication or a break down in
communication?
Do you feel funding changes need to be made to better serve
our students?
Is your district doing all it can to provide a safe learning
environment?
Is your district doing a good job of being accountable to
the parents and children they serve?
Feel free to download this Report Card and present it to the Teacher
or School your child attends.>>
