Hi Erika:
You've got a good process there.
I think the more frequent we can inform students of their status, the more time will be available to make corrections based on the advice and suggestions we've given.
This is also a great opportunity to also offer kind words of comfcort (if doing poorly), or encouragement and support, which may suggest the teacher cares about the student's success. Students will fremember and appreciate this simple act of courtesy.
Regards, Barry
