1 ^st GRADE REPORT CARD BASICS

The grading measures for 1st Grade have been revised this year.   In addition, students in 1st Grade will be receiving a report card for every marking period (in the past, they did not receive a report card for the 1st marking period).

Below are definitions of how your child will be graded this year in academic areas.

Skills Key

4 – Exemplary (Performance exceeds grade level benchmark without prompting from the teacher).  

Clarification:   A score of 4 is considered outstanding/exemplary work; above and beyond what is considered “accomplished”.   A score of 4 is NOT a score that show improvement or grade level expectations.   It shows work that is WELL ABOVE grade level expectations.

3 – Accomplished (Performance meets grade level benchmark with some prompting from the teacher).  

Clarification:   A score of 3 is considered 1 ^st Grade level work.

2 – Developing (Performance indicates progress towards grade level benchmark with prompting from the teacher)

1 – Area of Concern (Performance indicates insufficient progress towards grade level benchmark)

N/A – Not assessed this marking period

Below is how your child will be graded in Character and Work Habits.
