Report Card Overview

Woburn Public Schools believes in supporting every child’s unique learning journey.

1. Why does the report card focus on progress instead of traditional grades?

• Our standards-based approach highlights your student’s growth and areas of strength, ensuring that all students have equal opportunities to achieve their learning goals.

• “B” (Beginning) reflects early stages of learning. It’s an opportunity to explore different strategies and resources that work best for your child.
• “P” (Progressing) shows your student is actively growing and steadily moving toward mastering the skill.

• The slash indicates that the skill or standard was not addressed during the trimester. Teachers across grade levels coordinate to ensure consistency in the skills taught.

• Attendance significantly impacts progress. If your child has missed more than five days of school, their report card will note:
• “Student has inconsistent attendance”

• Discuss the report card with your child in a supportive way, focusing on growth and areas for improvement.

• Reach out to your child’s teacher if you have questions about how to support learning at home.

• Celebrate achievements, big and small, to motivate continued progress.

We hope this helps you better understand the report card and your child’s progress. Thank you for partnering with us in your students’ education!
