Subjects for Ontario elementary schools

  • Updated

Background

If you are intending to use the Ontario report card templates for grades K, 1-6, or 7-8 there are some Subjects which need to be set up with particular names. If required subjects are not used, teachers will not be presented with the correct report card sheets and data will not appear as it should in printed or published report cards.

 

Required Subjects

Kindergarten classes

For the Ontario elementary report card, all reporting is done through a single "Homeroom" class, with slightly different formats for the Progress Report, Interim Report Card and Final Report card. In all cases, a Subject should be set up with the name "Homeroom" and every Kindergarten student should be enrolled in a class period from this subject area.

 

Grade 1-8 classes

In grades 1-8, a specific set of subjects are presented on the Elementary Provincial Report Card, and only those subjects are shown on the printed report card. Specified subjects are:

  • Homeroom - Homeroom classes are used to collect marks for Learning Skills and Work Habits.1_homeroom.jpg
