Dear Boise School District Families & Staff,

Our Standards Based Reporting Family Engagement Nights begin tomorrow, April 28, and we hope you’ll join us to learn more about how elementary report cards will change starting in Fall 2026.

Standards Based Reporting (SBR) is designed to provide clearer, more meaningful information about what students know and are able to do. As we prepare for implementation in our elementary schools next year, these meetings are a great opportunity to see what’s changing, ask questions, and hear directly from district and school staff.

To support families, we’ve also created a new webpage with helpful resources, including:

• A short overview of Standards Based Reporting
• A parent presentation from our information sessions
• Frequently Asked Questions
• Contact information for additional support

You can explore the webpage here: Standards Based Reporting: A Clearer Way to Communicate Student Learning

Join Us at a Family Engagement Night (6:00–7:00 p.m.)

• April 28 – Boise Quad @ Hillside Junior High (tomorrow!)
• April 30 – Capital Quad @ Fairmont Junior High
• May 5 – Borah Quad @ South Junior High
• May 7 – Timberline Quad @ East Junior High

These sessions are designed especially for elementary families, but all interested families and staff are welcome to attend the location most convenient for them.

We look forward to partnering with you as we take this important next step in supporting student learning. 

Regards,
Boise School District Administration
