Report Cards
Students are assessed continuously throughout the year. Teachers use a variety of strategies to assess student learning, including observations, anecdotal records, portfolios, inquiry projects, daily classwork, and diagnostic assessments. Assessments are based on the Alberta Curriculum and consider both grade-level expectations and individual student growth.
Students receive a formal written report card twice a year in January and June. A formal written report card for students in Grades K-4 will be issued twice a year, January, and June. Formalized conferences with teachers are scheduled in November and March. In addition, a ‘Meet the Teacher’ Open House will be held in September.
We strongly encourage on-going dialogue throughout the year. If concerns or questions should arise at any time, your child’s teacher is your first point of contact.
Assessment and Reporting at the CBE
We know it is important for parents/guardians to understand how their children are doing in school. Research shows that students are more successful with active parent/guardian involvement.
The report card is one component in communicating student learning. In addition to the report card, schools communicate with parents/guardians about student progress on an ongoing basis in a variety of ways.
Assessment happens every day, in every classroom, throughout the school year. Assessing a student’s progress is one of the most important ways we support the continued learning of our students.
We have developed some resources related to assessment and report cards, and to help you learn more about your child's learning. As more resources are developed, you will find them here.
Digital report cards are available through MyCBE. For help with accessing student assessment and reporting information, please refer to the information in the MyCBE Technical Support for Students & Parents Support website.
