Report Cards
PRIMARY REPORT CARD PARENT INFORMATION
Background 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) and ranges from Performance Level 1 to Performance Level 4:
Performance Level 1—Exhibits skill/concept with direct guidance Performance
Level 2—Exhibits skill/concept with minimal guidance Performance
Level 3—Exhibits mastery of skill/concept Performance
Level 4—Exhibits understanding of skill/concept beyond grade level
It is important to note that for each indicator on the report card, it is the Performance Level 3 that is the goal and indicates “end-of -year” mastery for that concept or skill.
Performance Indicator Descriptions Each indicator on the report card is fully defined in a document titled Performance Indicator Descriptions. For every indicator, there may be three to ten bulleted statements that describe what students need to know and be able to do. Due to the large quantity of descriptors, you only receive a hard copy of the Performance Level 3 (end-of-year grade level expectations) for all areas in the report card envelope. We encourage you to view all the descriptors for levels 1-4 on the RRISD web site (www.roundrockisd.org).
Because a “3” indicates a child mastered end-of-year grade level expectations for a concept or skill, it may be likely that you see a “2” for a concept or skill multiple report cards in a row. This does NOT indicate a lack of progress. A level 2 indicator means your child is making the necessary progress on that skill, as there are many components to that skill which may be introduced sequentially. However, it is possible that a child demonstrates mastery of a concept that may not have even been taught. Should a teacher observe this, a child may receive a “3” early in the school year.
Early Reading Assessment Information In RRISD, each K, 1, 2 student is assessed using the aimsweb+ and Benchmark Assessment Systems (BAS). Students served in bilingual programs are also assessed with the Evaluación del Desarrollo de Lectura (EDL). The assessments screen a child at the beginning, middle, and end of the year. Your child’s teacher will report a “yes” or “no” on the report card for your child having “Met Standard on Reading Assessment.” Should these assessments indicate your child may be at risk of not being on grade level by his/her third grade year, the teacher will mark “yes” for “Qualifies for Reading Assistance” and request a conference to discuss a plan to support your child’s reading development.
Home-School Communication You receive the report card four times a year. Only the envelope needs to be returned. The report card is for you to keep. It is necessary that you sign the envelope and return it within a week. The report card includes a comment box where your child’s teacher includes additional information and/or requests a conference. You also are invited to enter comments. You’ll notice the signature box on the envelope includes a place for you to enclose comments about the grading period or request a conference.
