Keeping the grade book current and up to date is key. I also have a Tuesday folder that I send home with the work. This also holds me accountable if I entered a grade incorrectly of if there was a mistake made in grading.

Also, weekly emails are sent home to the parents encouraging them to sit with their child a review their grades and assignments.

Our district uses Teacher Ease. It’s front loaded with all of our standards that will be assessed throughout the year. As teachers enter grades, parents can see their child’s mastery over time as well as how many standards they have mastered for their grade.
It also allows comments and feedback to be entered for each student if necessary.
