Hello Doolittle Families,
How did it get to be December already?
Report Cards will be sent home on Monday, December 12. Elementary School grades in Cheshire are based on a rubric score of 1-4 and are not a numeric average of test scores, work scores, etc. Our Report Cards are intended to communicate with parents about how their child is progressing toward our end of year common standards.
The following information comes from the Parent Report Card Handbook.
Teachers use number and letter codes to answer three evaluation questions for each student:
1. To what extent has this student achieved grade level expectations and standards?
2. To what degree does this student demonstrate effort during learning, especially when tackling challenging, new content and skills?
3. To what extent is this child developing the characteristics of successful learners?
The report card uses two different grading keys to communicate the answers to these three questions:
one for the academic areas (Question 1) and one to describe learning behaviors and effort (Questions 2-3).
Within the academic areas there are four numerical codes that will be used to tell parents and students how student work compares to grade level expectations and standards:
4: Exceeds the Grade Level Standards/Expectations: The student consistently and independently applies the grade level standards/expectations in this category to advanced content.
3: Meets the Grade Level Standards/Expectations: The student independently demonstrates the grade level standards/expectations in this category.
2: Approaches the Grade Level Standards/Expectations: The student requires some teacher assistance to demonstrate the grade level standards/expectations in this category.
1: Not Meeting the Grade Level Standards/Expectations: The student does not yet demonstrate the grade level standards/expectations in this category.
