A few reminders to assist your understanding the report letter–

Social Behaviors:

For both the k-2 and 3-5 report letters, the Learning Social Behavior Key is S=Secure; P=Progress; and I=needs to improve.

Writing:

In the K-2 report letter, the writing progress is displayed on a continuum. The outcomes for the year before and the year after are displayed. Children are unique and sometimes mast the outcomes quickly. Other times they need more practice and opportunity for learning. When a student masters an outcome, it will be marked F-Fall, W-Winter, or S-Spring. Students are expected to master the grade level outcomes by the end of the year.


Progress in writing the 3-5 is reflected by B-Beginning, D-Developing, and S-Secure at fall, winter and spring intervals. At the end of each outcome the end-of-year target is noted in bold and parenthesis.

Reading:

Instructional reading level is reported in the K-2 report letters. A description of the text level appears in the dialoque box to hlep parents understand the level of text difficulty. The last box on the page will indicate whether a student is “on target”, “below target” or “above target”.


Reading levels are not reported after second grade though the end-of year outcomes are listed and progress is indciated by B-Beginning, D=Developing, and S-Secure at fall, winter and spring intervals.
