Introducing Future Ready Report Card Comments for Secondary Students
We are transitioning to a new system of Future Ready Report Card Comments for secondary students, designed to provide more specific and actionable feedback directly tied to our Profile of a Future Ready Graduate.
Outdated, generic phrases like "a pleasure to have in class" or "shows good effort" do not clearly communicate to students what specific behaviors or skills they need to continue, start, or stop. This lack of detail leaves students uncertain about how to improve.
The new comments, however, are precise and aligned with the skills outlined in the Profile (e.g., Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Growth Mindset). This means students will now receive feedback that tells them exactly what to do more or less of to develop essential competencies, such as:
Instead of: Shows good effort.
Students will see feedback like: Shows analytical thinking by questioning and making connections, or Needs improvement in contributing to group work.
This targeted approach ensures every learner receives the specific guidance necessary to actively shape their journey toward becoming a future-ready Avon Grove graduate!
Veterans Day
In preparation for Veterans Day, we’d like to create a Wall of Honor to include photos of any AGHS connections who have served our country.
Please fill out this form by Friday, November 7, to honor those who have served and have a connection (alumni, parent, cousin, grandparent, sibling, etc.) to AGHS.
Thank you!
