Your child's record

Every act of goodness a teacher saw, in the teacher's words, the same day it was written.

Your child's record is one page: the points, the acts of goodness, and every entry newest first, each in the words of the teacher who saw it.

A child's record as the family sees it: points, acts of goodness, and the entries with the teacher's words and the date
Two acts and a peaceful week, each with the words the teacher wrote.

What is on the page

  • Points. Ten for every act of goodness, five for a peaceful week. Never a rank.
  • Acts of goodness. How many; each one is a leaf on the class tree in the classroom.
  • The record. Every entry, newest first: the act, the teacher's words, the date, and "seen by the class teacher". Teachers' names are not shown to families; the school knows who wrote each entry.

Kinds of entry

EntryWhat it means
An act of goodnessA teacher saw it. The sentence is what they saw. Ten points.
A peaceful weekYour child harmed no one in word or deed that week. Five points.
A deductionYour child did harm, the complaint was checked, and the head of the school recorded it. The way back with the counselor opens the same day.
A restorationYour child made it right: what was undone and what good was done. The points come back.

What you do not see

The counselor's notes from the way back, and the note the head wrote with a deduction. Those stay with the counselor and the head, to keep a deduction small and private. You see that the way back is open, and you see the repair.

Nothing is edited

Every entry is final the moment it is written. If the school finds that an entry was wrong, the review board records a reversal, a new entry with the opposite points; the original stays, marked reversed. That is how the record stays trustworthy, for your child most of all.
