Attachments to the Ontario Report Card
Attachments to the Ontario Report Card provide specific, detailed information about students' progress towards their IEP goals during different reporting periods. These attachments complement the standard report card by offering insights into implementing accommodations, modifications, and supports tailored to the student's unique needs.
There are three attachments corresponding to three reporting periods within an academic year:
In Period 1, the attachment covers the first reporting period of the school year. It establishes a baseline and is focused on initial implementation and early observations, identifying immediate needs and initial adjustments. Refer to Attachment to the Ontario Report Card Period 1 for more information.
In Period 2, the attachment covers the second reporting period of the school year. It provides a more detailed progress update and is focused on continued progress and adjustments, making mid-course corrections based on ongoing progress. Refer to Attachment to the Ontario Report Card Period 2 for more information.
In Period 3, the attachment covers the third and final reporting period of the school year. It offers a comprehensive summary and helps with summative evaluation and planning for the future while focusing on overall evaluation and preparation for the next year. Refer to Attachment to the Ontario Report Card Period 3 for more information.
Typically, the Attachment to the Ontario Report card has the following components:
Student Information: Has basic details about the student, including their name, grade, and any specific areas of need or focus. It provides a quick reference for understanding the context of the student’s progress.
IEP Goals and Progress: A summary of the student's IEP goals and the progress made toward achieving these goals during the reporting period. Informs parents, teachers, and administrators about the student's development and areas where they excel or may need additional support.
Accommodations and Modifications: A detailed list of the accommodations (e.g., extended time on tests, preferential seating) and modifications (e.g., simplified instructions, altered assignments) implemented during the reporting period. This ensures that everyone involved in the student's education is aware of the supports provided and their impact on the student's progress.
Assessment Results: Information on assessments conducted during the reporting period and the student’s performance. It provides a data-driven overview of the student's academic and functional achievements, informing future instructional strategies.
Behavioral and Social-Emotional Development: Provides insights into the student's behavioral and social-emotional development, including any specific strategies used to support these areas. Highlights the student's progress in non-academic areas crucial for overall development and success.
Teacher Comments and Recommendations: Personalized feedback from teachers regarding the student's performance, behavior, and overall development during the reporting period. It offers qualitative insights and recommendations for the next steps to support the student’s continued growth and success.
