Some students in Grade 4 through 9 in the Sea to Sky school district will no longer receive letter grades on their report cards as part of a pilot project. Peter Jory, director of instruction, technology and innovation for the school district, told CBC's The Early Edition students will receive report cards with detailed feedback and "remove the distraction of the letter grade." The provincial government is currently conducting a public consultation on the future of report cards. Schools across the province have experimented with the grade-less report cards in the past, including some schools in the Surrey School District and a middle school in Port Moody among others.
