N: Not Applicable
This mark indicates that the specific standard is not applicable as the standard is not addressed during this quarter. You should expect to see several in the first quarter especially during the earlier grades. This is because the entire curriculum cannot be taught at once. While some learning standards will be addressed throughout the entire year, others will be phased in as the school year progresses.
