K-3 Report CardStandards-Based • Based on Common Core Curriculum • Parent Rubrics shared each reporting period • Grades now range from 1-4 • 4 (Complete Standard Mastery) • 3 (Consistent Achievement toward Standard Mastery) • 2 (Moderate Achievement toward Standard Mastery) • 1 (Limited Achievement toward Standard Mastery)

  8. K-3 Report CardStandards-Based Breakdown • Rather than receiving one grade per content area, you will receive a breakdown of your student’s performance by standard domain enabling you to identify areas of academic strength and opportunities for improvement more readily.

  9. K-3 Report CardConduct Grade Personal conduct = high expectations • Recognizing that successful students take initiative and have good work habits, these skills will be assessed throughout the year using the following scale: • E= Exemplary (Student displays habits beyond expectation), • S = Successful (Student displays habits that meet expectation), and • D = Does Not Meet (Student does not display behaviors that lead to successful learning).

  10. Parent Conferences • 20 minutes each • Will discuss the report card and any additional questions/concerns • Sign-Up before you leave
