Report Cards!
The first term has ended and report cards will go on Tuesday, December 10th. Report cards are issued three times a year in grades K-2: December, March, and June. These reports are provided to inform both you and your child about progress being made. They serve as a formal record and help communication between the home and the school. For students receiving Special Education services, Special education progress reports are also issued with regular report cards during the school year.
The issued report card should remain at home with the parent/guardian, and the envelope should be signed and returned to the school within one (1) week after each of the first two terms. The signature on the envelope does not indicate approval, merely the fact that the report card has been examined by the parent/guardian. Report cards are not a substitute for parent conferences. Parents/guardians are encouraged to regularly communicate with their child’s teacher to monitor their child’s academic progress.
Our standards-based report card communicates clearly what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of the academic year as set forth by the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Each grade level standard is taught, assessed, and reported within the standards on the report card. Important skills that students should learn in each subject at a particular grade level are shown on the report card. Parents/guardians will be able to see exactly which skills and knowledge their children have learned per term, allowing them to better understand their child’s strengths and areas requiring additional focus. Our reporting system reflects the extensive work of our teachers to match curriculum, rubrics, and assessments to the standards.

Grading for Preschool – Students at the preschool level are assessed utilizing a development scale in language, cognitive development, mathematics and early literacy skills, Reports are issued twice a year. Please note, preschool/prek students are not graded in the first term.
It is common for children to be performing at a Level 1 or 2 in the first term of a grade-level as the standards reflect end-of-the-year goals. Should you have any questions regarding your child’s performance, please contact your child’s teacher for additional information.
