HSES Kindergarten

Student performance is shown with levels of 1 to 4 to indicate whether the student has met the expectations set by the state in the Standard Course of Study and to indicate whether the student has the necessary skills and concepts to be successful in the next quarter or next grade. Teachers use a variety of assessments which include observations and evidence collected throughout the grading period to determine the student’s level of proficiency.

Level 4 - Exemplary

Level 3 - Proficient

Level 2 - Approaching Proficiency

Level 1 - Non-Proficient

● Student does not yet demonstrate an understanding of the standards, concepts, and skills taught during this reporting period.

Conduct and Work Habits

Students will 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. The following descriptors will be used:

3 - Meets expectations

2 - Inconsistently meets expectations

1 - Does not meet expectations
