The directive from the district office that all principals must tell their site teachers to use computers to make report cards cannot be enforced. The report card computer program freezes up repeatedly when teachers try to record behavior grades. The time it takes to use the computer is far more than the time it takes to write grades on the cards in handwriting. This extra time is not compensated by the district. There has been no computer training for the program. In addition a change in how report cards are recorded is a change in past practices. If any principal instructs you or any teacher that report cards MUST be done on the computer, please ask the principal to call Jan O'Reilly at the VTA office.
Hopefully there will be a new report card committee convened by the district to solve some of the problems with the report cards before next year.
