School Newsletter — January 29th, 2020
Note from the Principal
Dear Families,
This year you are able to view your student's report card on PatentVUE on February 3rd. We will no longer be printing and sending the report cards home. If you have not set up Parent VUE yet, please view the FAQ for instructions on setting up your account. The report card is intended to give parents and students clear feedback on how a student is progressing towards the end of year standards for Reading, Writing and Math. For Music, PE and other subjects, it is based on student performance during that semester. The learning targets in Reading, Writing, Math and other content areas are aligned to the Common Core Standards. Behavior is reported separately from academics. Specific unit of study information for science and social studies, covered during the term, are listed in the comments section.
The standards based grading scale is based on a student’s mastery of skills and knowledge. The scale is from 1-4 at grades levels K-12.
4 = Highly proficient
Student independently demonstrates sophisticated application in new contexts.
Earning a 4 means the student has advanced knowledge and skills that are applied to other situations and new learning. A 4 is not easy to achieve. A score of 4 is earned when students produce truly exemplary work that demonstrates knowledge and skills that exceed grade level standards. Few students will earn a 4. It should not be confused with an "A" in a traditional grading system.
3 = Proficient
Student demonstrates and apply skills consistently.
Earning a 3 means the student has a proficient understanding of grade level content and has mastered the content standard for that grade level. Students at level 3 demonstrate their understanding consistently. A 3 means a student has proficiently met the end of year grade level expectations and indicates high quality work. It is our goal for each student to reach proficiency on the standards by the end of the school year. It is something to be celebrated. A “3" at the end of the school year mean the student is well prepared for content at the next grade level.
2 = Nearly proficient
Student demonstrates skills inconsistently.
Earning a 2 means the student has a basic understanding and has partially mastered the grade level standards. A student receiving a 2 inconsistently demonstrates understanding and requires assistance to master the skill. Students at level 2 have a basic understanding of concepts or skills, but have not yet reached consistent proficiency. At the beginning of the year, when a skill or concept is new, students may not demonstrate proficient mastery of the knowledge or skill because it is new and they have not had the instruction or time to master that standard yet.
1 = Developing
Students demonstrate limited skills and require significant teacher assistance.
Earning a 1 means the student has a minimal understanding of end of year concepts. Even with assistance, the student cannot use or demonstrate mastery of the standard at this time. It would not be unusual to see a “1” if a topic is new and students have not had time to master the content, such as at the beginning of the school year. A 1 at the end of the school year indicates cause for concern.
You will likely see 1's and 2's at mid-year, because your child is learning concepts that are new at their grade level. By the end of the year, “3's” tell you that your child is proficient, or has the skills and knowledge that we expect children to learn, by the end of the school year.
In addition to the grade, there is a progress indicator. The progress indicator (-, =, +) tells you if your student is learning at a significant rate (faster than expected), steady rate (right on track for expected growth), or minimal rate (this may indicate a need for concern).
The comment sections will give you additional information about the standards and your child's progress. However, please do understand that you may not see a comment in all areas.
This year, there are new Math support documents to help you understand the changes to the report card Math targets and how you can support your child at home.
Kinder First Second Third Fourth Fifth
Specific questions about your child’s progress should be directed to your child's teacher.
Warm regards,
Angela Tran
