Grade Check and Goal Setting for Seventh Graders
By Sandra P.
A short, fillable self-reflection worksheet in which 7th graders log into PowerSchool, record current grades and missing assignments across all their classes, then set and plan a weekly goal. It builds data-reading, self-monitoring, and goal-planning skills, and closes with reflective prompts about barriers to success and the strategies that are already working.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a 20-30 minute advisory or homeroom activity at the start of the week, with students logging into PowerSchool on their own devices or with your guidance.
- Discussion question: What is one class where your grade surprised you, and what do you think caused that difference?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Pre-fill the class names in the table and walk through the key on the PowerSchool screen (grade square, Missing, blank or --) together before students begin.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to calculate how many points or assignments they would need to raise a grade to their target, then write a specific plan for the next two weeks.
- Plan to revisit the goal at the start of next week so students can check progress and adjust their plan.
