Distance learning has changed every aspect of the school day from the way attendance is taken to the way students turn in work. Report cards are no exception and need to be rethought just like everything else this school year. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the resiliency and strength of children. Let’s reward students by leaving report card comments that complement students’ hard work during distance learning.

When writing a report card it is always a good idea to start off with a compliment, leave some constructive feedback, and end on a positive note. Here is a list of 10 report card comments that start positively and are geared towards distance learning.
