Sorry kids, those report cards can't be put off forever.
In fact, School District 43 will know by early next week how many report cards will go out by the end of the school year and when they will be issued.
SD43 superintendent Tom Grant said details are being worked out now between administrators and the Coquitlam Teachers' Association on the report card schedule.
"We're working towards consensus with our partners," Grant confirmed Wednesday.
With the passage of Bill 22, B.C. teachers were ordered to resume all their paid duties, including writing report cards, holding meetings and supervising students. Grant said a review of supervision in schools is being conducted to determine whether it is appropriate for student safety.
But he said he will miss his recess duties, although it meant late hours to get all his work done.
"It was an imposition on time, as we couldn't get a lot of our district work done until late afternoon and early evening, so it meant longer days... but I will miss the ability to walk around the school yard and having the young kids talk to me about what's going on in their lives, the Canucks... and playing dodgeball."
Although report cards will soon be issued, most parents in SD43 already know how their children are doing because they were urged to keep in contact with their child's teachers throughout the job action.
