Elementary Report Cards
New Elementary Report Cards for 22-23
This school year we have launched new report cards for elementary schools. The process of revising the report cards has spanned several months, and has incorporated the feedback of OUSD teachers and families. To support the transition to the new report cards, central office is providing various support resources, including teacher guidance documents, video tutorials, and guidance documents for families.
