Report cards are coming home Friday, February 9th. Here is information to help you better understand the marks.
The report card summarizes information in three areas:
- Behavior Progress: How a student learns.
- Academic Performance: What a student has learned.
- Learning Progress: How a student is progressing.
BEHAVIOR PROGRESS
This section of the progress report addresses those classroom behaviors which are key to school success, such as managing responsibilities and communicating with others.
A student will receive a C, G or R to indicate current performance in each area:
C--Consistently
G--Generally
R--Rarely/Sometimes (Needs Improvement)
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
This progress report provides information on your student's current level of performance in Reading, Writing, Language, Speaking and Listening, Mathematics (all aligned to the Common Core State Standards) and Science, Social Studies, Health, Physical Education, Music, and Visual Arts.
A student will receive a 4, 3, 2, or 1 to indicate current performance in each area, based on the end of the year grade level expectations. The scoring guide or rubric which provides a description of each level (1-4) for each learning target can be viewed on the district website or obtained through the teacher. A "1" should be accompanied by a teacher comment or additional communication. An X is used when an area has not been assessed or when there is not enough information.
4--Highly Proficient
3--Proficient
2--Nearing Proficiency
1--Developing
LEARNING PROGRESS
This section describes your student's progress over time. A student may be performing below expectations for a grade level but still have made significant progress during the trimester. Alternately, a student may be performing at or above standard academically, but only making minimal progress. It is important that students of all developmental abilities are making steady or significant progress. A " - " should be accompanied by a teacher comment or additional communication.
A student will receive either a + = or - to indicate current progress in each area:
+ for significant progress
= for steady progress
- for minimal progress
We hope this information is useful and helps you better understand your child’s report card. If you have any questions regarding the report card, please contact your child’s teacher.
