Students do not receive numerical grades in kindergarten. They will receive meaningful feedback from their teachers to guide their learning. The RRISD Primary Report Card is a standards-based continuum, meaning that progress is reported on the knowledge and skills your child is expected to master at each grade level. The continuum is based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) .
LP-Limited Progress- Exhibits skill/concept with direct guidance
AS-Approaching Standard- Exhibits skill/concept with minimal guidance
MS-Met Standard - Exhibits mastery of skill/concept
A A student shall be promoted if their report card reflects three of the following:
Is marked at or above grade level in reading denoting that the student has acquired a “Met Standard” rating on at least half of the indicators.
Is marked at or above grade level in writing denoting that the student has acquired a “Met Standard” rating on at least half of the indicators.
Is marked at or above grade level in mathematics denoting that the student has acquired a “Met Standard” rating on at least half of the indicators.
Is marked at least at Approaching in all areas in social studies and science.
Teachers assess a student's performance level through observation, work samples, dialogue, performance tasks, and other informal and formal measures. Students are retaught at the time of need and given multiple opportunities to show mastery of a concept or skill.
