A. use various methods of reporting appropriate to grade level and curriculum content;

B. ensure that both student and parent receive ample warning of a pending grade of "failure" or one that would adversely affect the student's status;

C. enable the scheduling of parent-teacher conferences at such times and in such places as will ensure the greatest degree of participation by parents;

D. specify the issuance of report cards at appropriate intervals;

E. ensure a continual review and improvement of methods of reporting student progress to parents.
