 * Lawrence Woodmere -- 3x per year (Nov, March, June). June is very short summary of all subjects in narrative form. November and March are much more comprehensive, with extensive narrative and checklist from homeroom teacher, followed by specialty checklist and narrative. Checklist is area of concern, progressing, grade level, and exceeding.
 * St. Lukes -- 2x year reports in January and June, including specialty areas. Checklist includes consistently, usually, inconsistent, area of concern. Conferences in November and April.
 * Dutchess Day School -- Checklist and conference in November and April. Narrative report with checklist in January and checklist in June. Beginning, developing and secure are the checklist headings.

Henry has seen some schools who add "area of strength" and "marked improvement" to their checklist. These can be checked in addition to the regular 4 point scale.
