Q2 Progress Reports Checklist and Instructions (Administrators & Teachers)

The Q2 Progress Report period ends on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, Progress Reports will be distributed to students and mailed to ensure parents are aware of their child’s progress. Parents will continue to be able to view the grades in the Parent Portal. The Q2 Progress Report Checklist and Instructions is available on SharePoint. This document outlines the teacher and school office staff’s responsibilities for verifying and distributing Q2 Progress Reports.

Below are the instructions on how to mail progress reports.

For grades 1 through 12, a single PDF of all progress reports for each school should be uploaded by school staff to the following link: Q2 Progress Reports 2024-2025.

  • The PDF should be named “24-25 Q2PR SCHOOL NAME” with “SCHOOL NAME” replaced with your school’s name. For example, 24-25 Q2PR Woodstock Middle.
  • The PDF must have only two pages per student, one page showing the progress report and another showing the mailing address. School staff is responsible for reviewing the PDF and ensuring no progress reports are more than those two pages.
  • The District Print Shop will then print and fold grades 1-12 progress reports and send them to the District Mail Room to be metered and mailed.
  • The checked and finalized progress reports for grades 1 through 12 should be placed at the above link by 3 PM on Wednesday, November 13, 2024.

For Kindergarten report cards, which are usually multiple pages, school staff will need to fold the progress reports, insert them in standard mailing envelopes, seal the envelopes, and place a mailing label on each envelope (refer to pgs. 21-23 of the Q2 Progress Report Checklist and Instructions). Please be sure the envelope also has the return address of the school (refer to pgs. 21-23 of the Q2 Progress Report Checklist and Instructions). These envelopes should then be delivered to the Mail Room where they will be metered and mailed.

  • The checked and finalized progress reports for Kindergarten should be delivered to the Mail Room by 3 PM on November 13, 2024.

If you have questions and/or need additional assistance, please contact your school's assigned SIS Data Specialist.
