Madison Middle School Report Card/Homework Assessment Proposed Changes

Michael Maguire, via email:

I'm interested in gathering more information on this topic, as outlined in a message I received from a neighbor and PTO member. I appreciate more background info, if you have it (or a suggestion of where else I can go/with whom I can speak) to find out more: ["On Wednesday, February 20, at 7 pm Dr. Pam Nash and Lisa Wactel from MMSD will present the new format for middle school report cards. The meeting is in the LMC at Hamilton Middle School [Map].

The district is changing the middle school report cards to the same as the elementary: proficient, at grade level, needs improvement (or whatever those categories are). They will eliminate the letter grades: A, B, C, etc.

Another factor in the report cards is that homework will not count toward the grade. Teachers can still assign homework, but that will not count toward your child's assessment."]

I've heard that this model is also intended for the high schools. Related posts by Mary Kay Battaglia, "Can We Talk?
