Learning Portrait: View Into Your Child’s Learning and Growth
Each week, Ms. Gemo will provide information to introduce Learning Portrait, our school-wide gradebook for grades 1-8 which will be taking the place of FACTS for student progress communication.
New This Week:
Log In Issues: We know that many parents have been able to view their child’s learning progress in Learning Portrait, but many parents are still having issues logging. We are aware of these problems and the tech teams are working on an appropriate, long-term solution. We hope to have things cleared up by Tuesday. We appreciate your patience!
My child has a low score or grade? Should I be concerned? Watch this video to help parents understanding that it is too early in the year to be worried.
Parent Information Sessions During Conferences:
Did you miss the parent information session? Here is the video from the virtual parent workshop.
During this session, I will provide:
An overview of how Learning Portrait works and how student progress is reported.
Guidance on how parents can stay informed about their child's learning and proficiency growth.
Practical suggestions for having meaningful conversations with your child about their learning journey and next steps toward mastery.
October 1, 2026: Here is a written overview of how Learning Portrait is structured as well as the goals of Learning Portrait.
Here is a video of Ms. Voynovich and creator David Wartowski modeling how a teacher can conference with a student about their learning progression.
This week, we piloted the student portal of Learning Portrait with small groups of 6th, 7th and 8th graders. On Wednesday, 8th graders were introduced to Learning Portrait and learned how to access their current progress. This coming Tuesday, 6th and 7th graders will learn how to access Learning Portrait as well.
We anticipate sending instructions for parents to be able to access Learning Portrait for grades 1-8 by the end of next week -so stay tuned for more information. We are excited to be taking these next steps. For now, please review the information provided in the links here.
As we prepare to rollout Learning Portrait to students and parents, Ms. Gemo will provide updates to keep parents informed. Please check back here on a weekly basis. Here is the introductory video for Learning Portrait.
