Tips for Science Report Card Comments
Frequently Asked Questions
My student is great in lab but struggles on written tests. How do I capture that?
Name both specifically: 'Alex is an engaged and thoughtful lab scientist. [He/She/They] is developing the written analysis skills to capture that understanding on assessments, and we are working on the CER format to support this.' This gives parents an accurate picture and explains what you're doing about the gap.
How do I write comments for a student who seems disengaged from science?
Focus on what they are doing — attendance, effort, lab participation — rather than what they're not doing. Find one genuine positive and name a specific, small, achievable growth target. Comments about disengagement need to be paired with a conversation, not left as a standalone written note.
