Four times a year I’m given the monumental task of creating report cards that leave an accurate record
of my students’ performance in the classroom without making anybody cry. As a teacher, it is our duty to
be truthful, but we also need to be tactful. This week I’ll share with you some of the tried and true report
card comments that I have used over the years. I’ll also give you a peek into over forty of my actual
report card comments that may give you a few ideas and save you valuable time when you write your
own comments this year. Need even more report card inspiration? Check out Just the Right Words: 201
Report Card Comments — a book that helps you find the right words and save time.

Start on a Positive Note

I always begin each comment with a general statement letting the parents know how happy I am to be
teaching their child, or how much their child is learning and growing:

Your child has made very good academic and/or social progress this quarter.

Your child has done a very nice job this quarter, taking pride in her work and completing assignments
with quality in mind.

Your child continues to have a great year in 3rd grade.

It has been a pleasure having the opportunity to work with (student) during his 3rd grade year.

Provide Specific Information Across Several Different Areas

Closings

I always close on a positive note, giving a boost to my students' confidence. I let them know how proud I

memory, and old comments often serve as a platform that I build new ones upon. Again, here is a look at
a collection of comments I have saved from previous years. I'm hoping these tips save you a little time
while helping you leave a record of your students' achievements.

105 Report Card Comments to Use and Adapt

April 30, 2018 Justin Raudys Teacher Resources

Just about every teacher agrees: report card comments are important. But there are few who actually
look forward to writing them.

Why?

Because every instructor knows working under tight deadlines to create upwards of 20 unique and
detailed reports isn’t exactly straightforward (or particularly fun).

And while no one at your school knows your students better than you do, writing valuable report card
comments for each of them can be a huge challenge.

That’s why we created a list of 105 sample report card comments to help you find ideas, inspiration, and
insights while writing your own assessments.
The report card comments in this list will help you:

Instill a growth mindset in students

Write stronger leads and use livelier language in your evaluations

Build stronger home-to-school connections through written assessments

Choose the right phrasing when writing positive and negative report card comments

Top 10 Tips for Effective Report Card Comments

1. Give yourself extra time and start writing comments early

Somewhere around the halfway point to your deadline for report cards, you should take time at the end
of each week to reflect — and jot down notes — about your students’ performance.

Positive report card comments aren't always as challenging, but can still be difficult to word properly.

What are their strengths and weaknesses? How well do they socialize with classmates? How is their class
participation?
Even just a few minutes of note taking in the weeks preceding report card deadlines will help to ease
your stress when the time comes to write your final comments.

Moreover, having a dated log of information detailed throughout the school year will help you
remember how students are performing throughout each week.

This will also help to engage and reassure parents who want relevant and detailed commentary about
their child’s performance at school.

2. Use specific examples

Record and use classroom anecdotes in your assessments. No matter how involved you are in your
students’ progress, it can still be difficult to produce specific examples related to their performance if
you haven’t recorded them along the way.

End of year report card comments are helped by taking notes of in-class performance throughout the
year.

When you notice a positive or negative skill, ability, strength, or weakness in a class activity or
assignment, be sure to note it down so that you may refer to it in your report card comments. Likewise,
consider noting a sample of a student’s work every week or two.

To help with ease of access, keep ongoing files of this work in a personal folder or use a digital tool such
as a Google Doc.

3. Be encouraging, informational and professional

Although every report card cannot be glowingly positive, do strive to write in an encouraging and
informational tone. As you write negative report card comments, use encouraging language that focuses
on the student’s opportunity for improvement.

Final report card comments should be encouraging, informational and professional.

For example, instead of describing a student struggling with listening as a “bad listener,” remark that the
student “would benefit from listening more carefully.”

If appropriate, frame a negative comment in terms of what students are doing well — and consider how
this more successful characteristic can help them bolster performance in other areas.

4. Use a consistent format

Lead your report card comments with the positive comments, followed by areas that need more
attention.

Two teachers walk down the hall, discussing report cards. Report card comments for struggling students
are a challenge for many teachers to write.

Choosing the right format for reporting information will simplify the entire process, while resulting in a
clearer and more organized final product. If you are unclear about your school’s format for report cards,
request samples or consult with other teachers or staff members to clarify.

5. Be honest

Being open and honest about a student’s performance requires tact and consideration with regard to
how you express those comments. Be transparent, and remain mindful that your goal is to improve your
students’ learning experience.

Meaningful report card comments start with a good in-class observation of student performance, as
seen in this scene involving a student and teacher learning together with a tablet.

Openness and honesty are key to ensuring that experience is the best it can be. If possible, discuss what
intervention strategies you can use to help improve the student’s learning outcomes.
As elementary teacher Donna Donaghue remarks in her book A Guide for Beginning Elementary
Teachers: Getting Hired and Staying Inspired:

If there is a problem, most parents will be grateful to you for telling them and will want to help you
correct it as soon as possible. Many problems that show up at school are also problems noticed at home,
so your comments will not surprise parents. Ideally, at some point prior to receiving the progress report,
parents have already discussed the problem with you.

6. Move on if you get stuck

If you get stuck completing the comments for a particular student, move on to your other students and
return to it later. You will likely have more trouble completing comments for students who have multiple
areas needing further improvement and attention.

Effective report card comment examples demonstrate good phrasing that encourages students, if
possible.

Feel free to move on and return to those students periodically or as you find the right language to
express your insights.

7. Keep parents and guardians in mind

While every report card comment is ultimately about your student, think of your students’ parents as
much as possible and offer suggestions for their participation.

End of year report card comments depend on your focus and attention to detail throughout the year.

As you make note of your students’ strengths and weaknesses, endeavor to include practical insights into
how parents can involve and support their child at home. If possible, make reference to how you use
differentiated instruction to support the student in question.

Simple examples of tips for parents include:

“Encourage your child to read.”

“Find homework help for your child if needed.”

“Ensure that your child completes their homework.”

“Help your child with organization skills at home.”

“Help your child prepare for math tests by focusing their skills in addition and subtraction.”

As high school educator and teaching comprehension expert Anne Goudvis writes in her book Strategies
That Work:

it is important that you include the parents in your comment so they know the child’s education is a joint
mission. Sometimes you need to sound firm so that parents know you need their help and that you will
not allow their child to continue inappropriate behavior.

8. Try not to repeat yourself

It is unlikely that your students or parents will compare their report card comments, but it is still a best
practice to aim for unique commentary for each student that reflects each, individual learning outcome.

Math report card comments -- like any other variety of written assessments -- should be encouraging,
but professional.

9. Proofread, even if you don’t want to

Report card time is perhaps your busiest period of the year, and it is understandable that you want to
simply get them over with.

Despite this, you should make sure to double check all your comments before hitting print and handing
them out. All your communications to parents are a reflection of you as a teacher, and should mirror the
care and attention you show your students in class.

10. Notify parents

Make use of your school’s parent portal or email system to let parents know — as needed — that report
card time is coming up.

As a teacher report card comments are your chance to articulate the hard work and close attention you
have paid to students throughout the year.

This will help parents be prepared, and will also ensure that any important questions they may have are
addressed before the final report cards are delivered.

Effective Report Card Comments: Key Considerations

Report card comments should aim to deliver feedback to students and parents that is personalized,
detailed, and meaningful.

negative-report-card-comments

Writing report card comments doesn’t have to be stressful. Use these strategies to create livelier, more
meaningful evaluations.

Effective report card comments emphasize and discuss:

The specific elements of knowledge, skills, and other outcomes recognized in the curriculum that are the
most pertinent to a student’s achievement or development in the period of assessment

The specific, notable strengths that a student has shown and should attempt to continue to show

The major next steps for improvement that will:

Identify the student’s most important learning needs

Offer next steps for students

Offer specific recommendations for how parents and guardians can help the student’s learning habits
and skills (or the development of those habits and skills)

Effective report card comments are personalized – customized to each, individual student – and discuss:

Detailed evidence of learning or skill-development gathered from in-class observations, and/or student
assignments

The student’s learning preferences, willingness to learn, and interests.

Effective report card comments are expressed with clear and simple phrasing, using:

Language that is easy to understand for both students and parents, as opposed to educational jargon
used from the curriculum.

An encouraging and/or positive tone.

Report Card Comments: Final Thoughts

The Ontario Ministry of Education’s Guidelines for Effective Teacher-Parent-Student Communication

observe that “personalized, clear, precise, and meaningful report card comments are essential for
informing students and their parents about what students have learned, their strengths as learners, and
the next steps for improvement.”

Writing report card comments is no simple task, but with these strategies you'll find the process easier.

Among the pressure and deadlines of writing report cards, it can be helpful to keep these key goals in
mind.

Get inspired by the 105 examples — and strategies for success — above to ensure that precision, clarity,
and meaning shine through in your report card comments.

When it comes time to hand out your report cards, you can do so with the full confidence that you are
doing yourself — and each of your students — the justice your hard work deserves.
