The Upper Grand District School Board has released information on its distribution of elementary student report cards.
Teachers have submitted grades to school principals in paper format, but as part of their legal strike action, have not entered the grades in the province’s report card software. Parents will only receive a "letter of promotion" at the end of school next week, but not a report card.
The board decided it was not possible for principals to do all of the data entry themselves, so the paper copies of the student's grades are being brought to the board office for confidentiality reasons.
The board will hire staff to input the grades into the report card software during July. This will be done at the board office and supervised to ensure accuracy and security.
Parents can drop into the school on August 31 or September 1 to pick up the report card from the school principal, or make other arrangements if this is not a suitable time.
Elementary schools are closed for the summer until August 31.
