Grading

Valley Park School uses a standards-based report card. It shows levels of student achievement based upon grade level expectations from the NJ Student Learning Standards. The report cards are available online at the end of each trimester. If parents/guardians want a printed copy, they should contact the Office to request one.

At the end of each trimester, parents/guardians need to log in to PowerSchool to view the report card and comments. Click on the “Standards” tab at the top of the Quick Look Up page. If you need assistance with passwords or want a paper copy of the report card, please contact the main office. Teachers do not have access to parent/guardian passwords.

Standards-based report cards differ from the traditional report cards. The standards-based report card is more specific and shows individual mastery scores for the particular content and skills that make up each subject or special area, whereas, the traditional report card shows one summary letter/number grade for each subject or special area.
