Progress reports Progress reports are not a part of the formal process of reporting to parents; however, are useful mechanisms for schools to provide additional feedback about student progress to parents. A progress report can include some or all students and relate to some or all reporting groups. A teacher of a reporting group will be able to provide either attribute ratings or a comment about the performance of the student. Progress report templates can be configured flexibly to contain all or some students. More than one progress report can be created during a semester if necessary. The Report to Parents progress reports setup allows schools to configure a progress report to suit the individual requirements of the schools and for each academic year group.
