Term 2 Report Card Day - Friday, January 9th
📄 Standards-Based Report Cards – Important Information 📄
Standards-based report cards will be coming home today! Please note the following reminders:
✅ Sign and return the white envelope to school
📌 The report card itself may be kept at home
💻 All report cards will also be posted in Skyward Family Access under the Portfolio tab
📊 About Standards-Based Grading
Attached is our 4-point proficiency scale. The numbers do not automatically translate to letter grades (for example, 4 ≠ A, 3 ≠ B).
Our report cards are designed to communicate a student’s level of learning toward specific standards and skills. Each score reflects progress toward a learning target rather than an overall average or behavior score.
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or the school office. Thank you for your continued support!
