WHAT ARE WE LEARNING THIS MONTH

Standards Based Midterm Progress Report 

 Please sign and return the copy that says sign and return. The other copy is for you to keep. This is to communicate student progress midway through each grading period. This report is an abbreviated version of the APA Standards Based Progress Report, which is provided at the end of each grading period. Ours will be in late November. Both progress reports reflect and measure student progress to the common Core State Standards. It will give an effort grade for English Language Arts (ELA), Math, Science, and Social Studies. These are marked by E=excellent effort S=Satisfactory Effort M=minimal effort I=improvement needed in effort. In ELA will additionally be broken in to reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Math is broken into concepts and skills. This is marked with a number 4- Student exceeds expectations for the standards covered in this period *This is generally not given in kindergarten because it indicates that your child is at least a grade level above and be able to understand information and apply it in a new way. Our curriculum is not set up like this. 3-Student meets expectations for the standards covered. 2-Student is approaching or nearing the expectations for the standards covered. 1-Student is experiencing difficulty understanding the standards covered in this period and is need of additional support. There is also a small section at the bottom labeled Behavior Promotes Learning. This indicates your child’s progress overall, in the areas of personal and social development and characteristics of a successful learner. It is graded the same as the effort grade with a E, S, M or I.
