Report Cards-Report Cards come home today in your child’s home and back.
How to Read Report Cards:
Not every standard will be marked for each subject. We follow a TPS Pacing Calendar to ensure that ALL objectives are taught by the end of the year. So, if an area is not marked, it will be taught in a different quarter.
If your child has received a one for that category then he/she has mastered all objectives covered for that category this quarter.
If your child has received a two for a category that means he/she is either still working or progressing on it themselves or the class is still working on it together. This may also mean that we’ve only introduced a subject, but haven’t assessed for it yet. Please do not be alarmed by a two on your child’s report! Twos are a good thing!
If your child has received a three then that means that your child is showing no evidence of the skills covered in that category and will benefit from extra support at home.
We no longer use a “P” for progressing. In Literacy, Math, Science, and Social Studies your child will receive a “S” for progressing satisfactorily, or a “N” for not yet at grade level, but working toward it.
If you have any questions regarding your child’s report card please contact your child’s teacher.
