Final Thoughts

copy four or five of the most suitable statements.

But, I will also follow-up my generic comment from the comment bank with a
specific example for the parents to read.

https://helpfulprofessor.com/report-card-comments/ 16/20
3/22/24, 10:49 AM 223 Copy and Paste Final Report Card Comments (2024)

Parents do like to see that you have provided specific and thoughtful statements
– so don’t forget to use the student’s name and specific anecdotes as much as

possible.

I do hope this comment bank for report card comments has come in handy
for you.

Remember to also maintain a positive but honest and constructive voice when
writing.

If there is serious concern that might be difficult to express in writing, you should
arrange for a parent-teacher conference to have a discussion and see how things

progress.

Good luck with your report card writing!
