*Save yourself time by searching online for pre-written sentences for report card comments. Websites, such as TeachersPayTeachers and EducationWorld, offer polished sentences that you can get for free or pay to download.

*Keep records, starting in the first month of the school year. These can be pieces of writing, math assessment scores, notes about behavior, etc. These records will provide evidence to support your comment. The records will also let you comment on improvement over time.

*You’ll be more relaxed if you start your report cards a few weeks before they are due. Spreading the work out over time makes it less overwhelming. You just might be saved from doing report cards late at night or on weekends! In your calendar or plan book, enter the date you’ll start report cards. Don’t count on other teachers to remind you. You’ll be well underway before they’ve even started thinking about report cards!

*Avoid vague language, like “Jena is working on her spelling.” (''All'' students are working on their spelling, even the best spellers!) You could say, “Jena receives extra help to improve her spelling.”

*Leave out sentences that apply to every student, such as, “The class studied insects and made posters about them.” It’s tempting to fill up space with sentences like that, but there are better places for parents to learn about the curriculum, such as a newsletter.
