- A report of a student’s grade on an assignment or examination;
- A report of a student’s academic progress in a class or course;
- A report of a student’s grades at the end of each grade reporting period;
- A textbook report;
- A unit or weekly lesson plan that outlines, in a brief and general manner, the information to be presented during each period at the secondary level or in each subject or topic at the elementary level;
- An attendance report;
- Any report required for accreditation review;
- Any information required by a district that relates to a complaint, grievance, or actual or potential litigation and that requires the classroom teacher’s involvement; or
- Any information specifically required by law, rule, or regulation.
The School may collect essential information, in addition to the information specified above, from a classroom teacher on agreement between the classroom teacher and the School.
