Standards-Based Report Cards

Reporting student progress is an essential part of the communication and partnership between home and school. We believe that it is the District’s professional responsibility to provide parents and students with information that accurately reflects a student’s level of performance and progress in meeting academic standards and habits for school success. The District’s new standards-based report card is designed to provide a “snapshot” of grade-level standards, and communicates an individual student’s progress toward independently meeting those expectations over the course of the school year. It also ensures more consistency among expectations from teacher to teacher and from grade to grade, and allows students to be more aware of what is expected of them while working in partnership with their teachers.

Academic Scoring Marks

For each trimester, some curricular content is just being introduced. As a result, students may not receive a “meets” or "exemplary" marking until a subsequent trimester.

  • E = Exemplary:  The student independently extends and applies key concepts, processes, and skills and can transfer this learning to new contexts.
  • M = Meets: The student demonstrates a solid understanding of key concepts, processes, and skills and can consistently apply this learning.
  • P = Progressing: The student is progressing toward an understanding of key concepts, processes, and skills with minimal assistance.
  • B = Beginning: The student is beginning to understand key concepts, processes, and skills with assistance.
