Report Card

Granite School District honors the role of the family as a child’s first and most important teacher. To optimize outcomes for students, GSD takes every opportunity to create regular opportunities for parents to share in the implementation of the priorities we have outlined for students. A trusting partnership between families and schools must exist in order to fully realize and sustain student potential and achieve the goals of graduation and proficiency. Parents' support in their child's education is one of the most crucial factors in their academic success.

How You Can Help at Home

• Use the GSD Portal to be familiar with your student's academic proficiency and classroom assignments, supporting their completion.

​

• Provide a distraction-free environment for homework and study time.

​

• Provide the appropriate amount of support to your student with schoolwork, helping them take responsibility for their own learning.

​

• Reinforce the PBL Student Bill of Rights and Responsibilities.

​

How You Can Help at Home

• Participate fully in learning activities that prepare assessment and reassessment, showing what I know and can do.
• Spend an appropriate amount of time on homework and other independent practice as recommended by the teacher, honoring the deadlines teachers set for completion.
• Set and work towards personal goals, striving to achieve at high levels and self-managing work habits and behavior so they do not interfere with learning.

• Model good communication skills. Encourage your child to ask questions and help them learn how to respond to questions appropriately.

​

• Engage in two-way communication with the school: contact school officials with questions or concerns and relate the interests and abilities of your child to your teacher; also make sure that your contact information is up to date so you can receive all regular notifications and emergency notifications.

​
