Fuller Student/Parent Handbook - Report Cards

Report Cards

Report Cards for Core and Elective Classes

All students receive two report cards at the end of each nine-week reporting period - a core standards report card and a separate elective report card. The report cards will outline your child’s progress in meeting the state standards for his or her grade and in meeting the standards for his or her elective classes for that quarter, and will also provide information regarding your child’s classroom behavior and work habits in both core classes and elective settings.

Like all WCPSS elementary schools, we utilize standards-based grading. Levels 1 to 4 indicate whether your child met expectations set by the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for core classes and specials and expectations set for elective curricula in your child’s chosen electives. These levels also indicate whether he or she has the necessary skills and concepts to be successful in the next quarter or next grade.

Level 4 (Exemplary/Performing Above Grade-level): Student consistently demonstrates an in-depth understanding of the standards, concepts, and skills taught during this reporting period.
Level 3 (Proficient/Performing at Grade-level): Student consistently demonstrates an understanding of the standard, concepts, and skills taught during this reporting period.
Level 2 (Approaching Proficiency): Student is approaching an understanding of the standards, concepts, and skills taught during this reporting period.
Level 1 (Non-Proficient/Performing Below Grade-level): Student does not yet demonstrate an understanding of the standards, concepts, and skills taught during this reporting period.

Teachers' assessments include observations and evidence collected throughout the grading period to determine their students' levels of proficiency. The descriptors for each level have been aligned to the expectations of the state Standard Course of Study for all content areas.

Conduct and Work Habits Report

Students receive grades (1, 2, or 3), separate from the content area, for conduct and work habits. In reporting on conduct, the teacher can indicate whether the student meets expectations in cooperating with others, respecting others, and observing rules and procedures. In reporting on work habits, the teacher can indicate whether the student uses time wisely, listens carefully, completes assignments, writes legibly, works independently or seeks help when needed, and completes work.

We encourage you to participate in scheduled conferences with your child’s teacher (these should occur twice per year) and ask that you feel free to contact your child’s teacher by e-mail to schedule additional conferences or to ask questions about your child’s progress at any time.
