Character Development Scores/Marks Are Not Required For All in Elementary
Although filling out every section, with the exception of grades, is based on campus principal decision, we must remember that the report card is an official, district form of communication, and therefore should be filled out to it's entirety in order to give parents a concise report of their child's progress in school. To find out what your campus policy regarding the character development section is, contact your campus principal.
If you don't know how to fill this section out, click on the image to the right for directions. Both English and Spanish Report Cards, in 2nd-5th grade, include this section.
