School report cards: Have your say

At the end of the last school year, the class teacher sent you a report card on how well your child was getting on in school. What do you think about the report card we used and how can it be made better? The people at National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) who developed the report cards would like you to tell them by completing a ten minute survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/survey_reportcards  orhttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/cartaituairisc
