Dear Craig School Families,

Today you will get an email from records@craigschool.org and an email from jchismar@craigschool.org. The email from records@craigschool.org will contain your child's Goals & Objectives. The email from jchismar@craigschool.org will tell you how to log into Veracross to access your child’s report card. 

The Goals & Objectives are the individual skills the students are working on in each class. These will be filled out three times a year, at the same time as the report cards. Some skills will have an NI, meaning Not Introduced, meaning they are skills that are forthcoming this year. Similarly, it is not unusual to see 1’s and 2’s on the Goals & Objectives at this point in the year. Although a skill may have been introduced, it will take time during the year to develop. The progress reports for any related services your child has will be included in the Goals & Objectives email.

The report cards will look different this year, as they are completed on our new learning management system but they will contain all of the same information. For those that are new to The Craig School, the report cards will have elements you are used to seeing, and some that will look a bit different. You will see an overall grade and then a subset of skills for the main content areas. We intend that the details will help you understand your child’s strengths and areas of growth in all skill areas. The accommodations that the teacher employs to address your child’s unique learning profile along with your child’s work habits in the class are also listed on the report card. It is with these accommodations in place that your child has earned their respective grade. 

If there are any questions the teachers or I can answer about the testing, our grading policy, or the accommodations for your child please do not hesitate to reach out. Those are conversations we love to have as we partner with you to celebrate our students’ perseverance and success.

I wish you all a very relaxing, joyous holiday season. I hope you have the time to take a break, catch your breath, and enjoy your family and friends.

Happy Holidays,

Jennifer Guthrie

Director of the Lower & Middle School
