5 ELEMENTARY REPORT CARDS CARDS

Report Card Revision Process

Why were the new report cards developed?

• New York State requires all students to receive instruction in,

and master the standards for each grade level, and we needed to update our reporting system to better align with the most recently revised requirements.

• A standards-based report card encourages consistency in

teaching and reporting student progress across the elementary schools, K-5.

A Standards-Based Approach to Reporting

Designed to inform parents about their children’s progress toward achieving the New York State learning standards—specifically what students are expected to learn at each grade level

Report Card Revision Process

• K-5 teachers, building and district level administration teams

researched and made recommendations for revising our current report card language and format to ensure alignment with NYS standards and district programs (i.e. Literacy Collaborative)

• All K-5 teachers and administrators met several times to

review the K-5 report card drafts to ensure consistency of reporting across grade levels

• An electronic version of the revised report card was created to

interface with the district’s Infinite Campus student management system—enhancing accessibility to students’ historical records and the efficiency of our data input and printing processes

Components of the Revised K-5 Reporting System

• Parents’ Reference Guides to K-5

Standards-Based Curricula

• Revised K-5 Student Progress

Reports; which include:

– Academic Performance Levels – Academic Progress Levels

EXPLANATION OF GRADING KEYS

The Academic Performance Key includes four proficiency levels which indicate a child’s level of understanding and/or performance based upon specific NYS learning standards

EXPLANATION OF GRADING KEYS

Academic Performance Levels

1. Performance significantly below grade level expectations—intensive support necessary 2. Performance indicates additional practice and/or support to achieve grade-level expectations 3. Performance meets grade-level expectations 4. Performance exceeds grade-level achievement

EXPLANATION OF GRADING KEYS

Each child grows and develops at his/her own rate and the Academic Progress grades will provide parents with information about their child’s individual progress in acquiring essential academic, and social and emotional skills and strategies

Ultimate goal of the report card revision process: to enhance student engagement and achievement through strengthened home-school communication

We encourage parents to speak with their child’s teacher(s) about how they may reinforce learning at home. Parents are also asked to review their child’s report card at home and encourage their child to discuss his/her own learning and set goals together.
