[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]For equity reasons[/b], a copy of the beginning of the year assessments should have come home in a folder.  I received copies for both my kids.

Kindergarten report cards are coming up soon and that should give you a better idea how things are going.  They should be doing assessments for report cards this month. In older grades you do get more regular report cards--kindergarten is an anomaly.[/quote]

What? For the purpose of equity, assessment results should have been sent home in a folder?

OP, not sure what you are expecting from the teacher.  A weekly communication is far more than we ever got from our schools at any level. You are getting regular communication.  Beginning of year assessments are reviewed (or typically should be) with parents at the fall parent-teacher conferences.  If there's an issue, the teacher SHOULD contact you; but if you have questions or concerns, you are ALWAYS able to contact the teacher via email to ask or arrange a phone call or meeting.  If you get a teacher who is unresponsive, you should contact the principal.

Your privilege is shining through. You seriously don’t understand the benefit of sending home paper correspondence?[/quote]

Actually, I prefer paper correspondence.  But I don't think that is a matter of equity.  It's not like information is intentionally being withheld from certain students and their parents and provided to others.  Many a paper sent home via the student has never made it to the parent.  And it's a waste of resources to mail that type of information out to every family.[/quote]
