Saturday, October 4, 2008 Improved report cards unveiled at local schoolParents of Parkview Elementary School kindergartners are getting a new way to track their children's progress. Parkview kindergarten teachers presented the new report cards they had designed for their classes at the Socorro Consolidated Schools Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 30, in the administration building. The board is to vote on the report cards next month. "It really reflects more of what we teach than the old report card did," said teacher Karel Sloan. In a survey and during conferences, parents had positive comments. The teachers changed minor things due to parents' remarks, Sloan said. Teacher Jennifer Keller said previous report cards didn't give parents and first-grade teachers enough information about what kindergartners learned. To solve the problem, kindergarten teachers changed to report cards based on state standards, as is the trend around New Mexico. "It explains it in terms the parents can understand," Sloan said. Report cards are in Spanish and English. The Parkview kindergarten teachers have shown their new report cards to their colleagues at Midway and San Antonio elementary schools. Parkview first-grade teachers are also redoing their report cards, Keller said. In other business:
