Indicator+6.5

Provides information about students, their performance, and school effectiveness that is meaningful and useful to stakeholders.

Martina Hand's input form the Parent Questionnaire form: "Parent/Teacher conferences are a must and highly encouraged…teachers are accessible. Last year we had access to Grade Speed, the system that allowed parents to monitor student’s progress. We’ll be switching to a new system. Grade Speed was effective to some degree…better than not having it, but there are probably better systems out there. " Input from Mr. and Mrs. Maltais from Parent Questionnaire form: "The school provides information about students and their performance primarily through the use of the Grade Speed web application. This web app is useful for parents to track their child’s progress throughout the year. However is in regards to overall effectiveness Grade Speed merely gives parents grades and assignment information. Grade Speed could be improved through more interaction between the school and parents with updates on school mission, focus and improvements in learning activities." Mrs. Stein's comments: "Teachers provide feedback via frequent emails and parents always have the ability to contact teachers by email or phone. Gradespeed is updated very often by teachers and weekly emails from the administration keep parents aware of school events. I feel that Alconbury Middle/High School is very effective in helping parents and students create a recipe for success. "

Mrs. Repetski's comments:

 In what ways does the school provide information about students, their performance, and school effectiveness that is meaningful and useful to stakeholders? Are these effective? If not, how could they be improved? The access to Gradespeed is wonderful! I certainly believe this to be meaningful, useful and effective.
