Status and mid-term reports

You have to send the status report and mid-term report to the Direction de l'enseignement à la maison (DEM) three to five months after starting to implement your learning project.

The regulation specifies that you can incorporate your status report and mid-term report into one document.

(Deadlines are different if you make your decision during the school year. Please consult the page Special cases for more information.)

Status report

Your status report must:

report on the implementation of the learning project: indicate in one sentence if the project is going well;
indicate if you have made any changes to the learning project: briefly explain any changes, if applicable;
indicate learning activities carried out by subject or discipline, and the approximate amount of time that has been allocated to them: based on your learning project, add the activities you have carried out, the resources you have used, and the approximate time allocated.

No need to be exhaustive: only include activities necessary to meet the requirements of the law. The approximate time allocated can be expressed as the total number of hours, the number of working days since the project was started, the approximate frequency (every day, once a week, etc.), or an example of a typical day.

Mid-term report

According to the regulation, the mid-term report must “assess the progression of learning of the child and evaluations produced to measure it.”

The mid-term report must:

Be brief: one or two paragraphs outlining the progress of the child by subject, with some examples;
Mention the evaluations realized to measure progress:
- Indicate if you have already completed an annual evaluation
- Explain the basis of the child’s progress assessment. For example:
  1. Daily monitoring by parents through discussions, work produced, and other achievements of the child;
  2. Professional evaluations (for example, by a music teacher, coach, day camp leader, etc.)
  3. Other methods used.
Describe the child’s overall progress, taking into account his/her learning project.

If you have chosen an evaluation by portfolio, you do not need to include it with your mid-term report. It need only be included with the completion report.
