Report Cards and Progress Reports
Report Cards are given three times per year. The report card is based on progress toward the grade level standards. Progress reports are sent home six (6) weeks before the end of the grading period to notify parents if their child is not meeting grade level standards and may receive an unsatisfactory grade unless improvement is shown. Students can receive the following marks:
• “4” Exceeds Grade Level Standards
• “3” Meets Grade Level Standards
• “2” Approaching Grade Level Standards
• “1” Below/Does Not Meet Grade Level Standards
• “E” Excellent
• “S” Satisfactory
• “N” Needs Improvement
 
If your child has received a “1” or an “N” in any area, please arrange a parent conference with the teacher so that you may work together on that area of need.
