2006–2007 Grading and Reporting Updates
All elementary schools will continue to report grades based on grade-level
expectations in Grades 1–5. Teachers in Grades 1–5 will continue to report
other important information about a student’s effort and behavior as
Learning Skills separately from the academic grade.
Our school is one of 19 schools that is field-testing the electronic
standards-based report card in Grades 1 and 2. These report cards provide
information, using numbers rather than letter grades, to report student
progress. The numbers represent levels of proficiency.
4 - Demonstrates complete understanding
3 - Demonstrates general understanding
2 - Demonstrates developing understanding
1 - Demonstrates minimal understanding
In Grades 3, 4, and 5, students will receive the traditional report cards
with letter grades of A, B, C, D, and E to indicate student academic
progress.
At Back-to-School Night, teachers will give you specific information about
grading in their classrooms. During the year, we will continue to
communicate with you about student performance in many ways. Teachers will
use report cards, conferences, progress reports, phone calls, e-mail, and/or
notes home to keep you up-to-date on your child’s performance in school.
As we move forward with the implementation of standards-based grading, we
encourage you to continue to talk to your child’s teachers about any
specific questions you have about your child’s grades.
