[quote=Anonymous]In my experience the ES teachers have always had the report card ready for the conference there by eliminating the signed envelope home.  However, an eight minute conference can be eaten away by a teacher who wants to read you the report card.  If anything you're better off without the actual document or at least you want to have some questions ready to steer the discussion away from a report card recitation.  If once you've poured over the report card (which I definitely quit doing with the new grading system) you have a question in a specific category, an email exchange might be the most efficient approach anyway.  After ES, Edline should have you fully informed and the conference is an opportunity to drill down on specific grades or assignments that seem to have been an issue or a time to discuss strategies for bringing up a semester grade, etc.  Basically just a chance to clear the air as by that point student and teacher often have a very different explanation of events.[/quote]
