When
my sons were in school, my main questions were:
The
first/second grade report card attempts to answer the first two of these
questions.
When
grading achievement we use the same grading symbols that
the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP) employs:
A=The
student is Advanced in the knowledge of this skill. The skill is
applied and used in new situations.
P=The
skill has been introduced and the child is Proficient in applying
the skill.
PP=The
skill has been introduced and the child is Partially Proficient
in applying the skill; however the student still needs reminding and
prompting.
U=The
student has had time to practice the skill, but is still Unsatisfactory
in applying the skill.
When
grading work skills and conduct we use the following symbols:
O-Outstanding
S-Satisfactory
U-Unsatisfactory
We
give very few formal tests at this level. Most of the assessments
consist of teacher observation. You will get a better idea of what
and how your child is doing by participating in your child's daily homework.
You will see the reading level of the books brought home and have the opportunity
to practice the math skills that are being taught.
Report cards are
issued at the end of each quarter. Parent/Teacher conferences are
scheduled at the end of the first quarter of school. Please feel
free to schedule a meeting at any time you have concerns or questions. |
