[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses.  It sounds like, for whatever reason, this is an anomaly-- which is great, in some ways, because it means it will likely be better in the future!

The link that someone else shared about assessments said that parents should receive a parent report that explains what assessment scores mean- that's the kind of thing that I would love, but didn't get (and the link doesn't work on the website to the sample letter).

I've reached out to our teacher via email a couple times (but literally just a couple), and she has not responded to my emails.  Once she answered my question in the weekly letter to all parents, which kind of felt passive aggressive. We had a fall conference, but not with the current teacher. [/quote]

Was there a mid-year teacher change?  That might explain why you're not getting as much feedback.  It takes time for a new teacher to get to know all of the kids so she can provide meaningful feedback to parents.[/quote]

A teacher change mid-year can be hard.  I actually think you're getting great contact, OP.  An email once a week sounds on par with my experiences and I would be happy with that.  I think it is odd that you're inferring passive aggression when the teacher DID respond to your query, just through a group message rather than one-on-one.  Please don't set yourself up to be THAT parent.  It doesn't help your kid at all.  If you have concerns about your child's inability to thrive, then you need to make an appointment with the teacher.  I would certainly do that before going to a principal.  You need to do your job as a parent first imo and I say this as a fellow parent.  It seems like you're waiting for the teacher to do all these things but you haven't done your part yet.[/quote]
