Who typically receives parent progress reports?

• A. Students
• B. Families
• C. General public
• D. School administrators

Answer: (B)

Parent progress reports are meant to keep families informed about how a student is doing and progressing toward specific goals, especially in special education where progress toward IEP goals is tracked. They provide a clear record for guardians to review with their child, plan at home, and participate in decisions about instruction and supports. This is distinct from what students typically receive for their own day-to-day work, and it isn’t intended for the general public or for school administrators to use as a family report. Privacy rules and the purpose of family involvement center these reports on the family, making families the typical recipients.
