be the primary measure of academic attainment for reporting student

shall be shared with the student and with the parents and shall be used 
to give teachers and students direction for subsequent learning 
activities.

    (c) Parent/teacher and parent/teacher/student conferences focused on 
the student's instructional progress and development shall be held, 
where feasible and practical, to provide an additional means of 
communication between home and school. Residential schools may meet this 
standard by documenting the communication of student grades on report 
cards to parents.
    (d) Each school shall issue a report card to parents of students who 
are under the age of eighteen (18) and to students eighteen (18) years 
of age and older on a regular basis, but not less than four (4) times 
yearly. The report card shall include, but not be limited to, the 
following sections:
    (1) Recommendations and probable promotion status;
    (2) Appropriate signatures and request for return of report cards; 
and
    (3) Student attendance record.
    (e) A summary of each year's final card shall become part of the 
student's permanent school record.
