A report card is a periodic document from schools informing parents or guardians about their child's academic progress and achievement. Report cards typically include grades or evaluations in each subject, attendance information, teacher comments on learning and behaviour, and assessments of skills like collaboration and work habits. Schools issue report cards multiple times yearly—often at the end of each term or semester. Provincial curriculum standards guide what's assessed and how grades are determined. Report cards provide formal communication between schools and families, complementing parent-teacher conferences. Digital report cards accessed through online portals are increasingly common alongside traditional paper versions.
