New Progress Reports

New Progress Reports at Bacich

by Sally Peck, Bacich Principal

In the fall of 2006, the Bacich staff began the arduous and important process of examining our progress reports/report cards. It was believed that they did not adequately represent the grade level standards nor additional important information that we wanted to share with our parents.

Many months of careful thought and research have gone in to developing our new report cards. Unlike previous progress reports, we have aligned our report cards to the corresponding grade level California State Standards. These are available for you to view on the California Department of Education web site. Standards have been an important part of the Kentfield School District curriculum for a number of years. The State of California requires all students to receive instruction in and master the standards at each grade level by the end of the school year.

The new report card is based on a common template, common language, and agreed upon progress standards, which we believe will allow better communication about our students' progress. They will be sent home at three points during the school year: November, March and June. The reports will communicate how well students are progressing toward being proficient in the grade-level standards. This means that a student on track to meet all end of the year standards would demonstrate mastery of identified Fall, Winter and Spring standards when assessed at these three points during the school year.

Throughout the school year, students demonstrate their learning and their progress, as defined by a wide range of student work samples and teacher observation. It is our intention that the contents of the report card is but one of the ongoing conversations between teachers, students and parents about what is expected of the students and how to help them be successful in a rigorous academic program.

To help you understand more, we have developed a downloadable guide for parents:

Annual Report 2007

Community Receives Annual Report and Strategic Plan

In August households within the Kentfield School District were mailed a copy of our school district’s 2007 Annual Report and three-year Strategic Plan. The majority of residents received the mailing the week of August 20.

The Annual Report highlights the accomplishments of the District in 2006-2007, and explains how all dollars are accounted for. The Strategic Plan, enclosed in the mailing, articulates short and longer term goals for our school district; it will set the direction for the District in the coming three years.

This is the first year when our school district has undertaken such a comprehensive mailing. With the upcoming parcel tax election in February, school board election in November and the departure of our long term Superintendent, Bob Caine, next June, the Board of Trustees felt that it was an important time to communicate clearly and often with our school community as well as our community at large.

If you did not receive a copy of this report, or you have any questions please contact Bob Caine or any member of the Board of Trustees.
