1st Grade Report Card Guide
● E indicates Exceeding Expectations. This designation means that the results of the student’s efforts during a given marking period go beyond the progress expected at this grade level. If this rating were to be expressed numerically, the range would fall between 95-100.
● M indicates Meeting Expectations. This designation means that the results of the student’s efforts during a given marking period fall in an area of progress that is expected at this grade level. If this rating were to be expressed numerically, the range would fall between 85-94.
● G indicates Growing Proficiency. This designation means that the results of the student’s efforts during a given marking period are approaching the degree of progress that is expected at this grade level. If this rating were to be expressed numerically, the range would fall between 75-84.
● L indicates Limited Proficiency. This designation means that the results of the student’s efforts during a given marking period are falling below the degree of progress that is expected at this grade level. If this rating were to be expressed numerically, the range would fall between 74 and below.
With regard to ELA, there are four standards that will also receive a rating or designation. In this case, the numbers 1 to 4 will be used.
● The number 1 suggests that the student currently Needs Support in order to achieve the expected benchmarks at this grade level.
● The number 2 suggests that the student’s work is currently Approaching Benchmarks expected at this grade level.
● The number 3 suggests that the student’s work is currently Meeting Benchmarks established for a student at this grade level.
● The number 4 suggests that the student’s work is currently Surpassing Benchmarks established for a student at this grade level.
The benchmark areas which support the standards may receive a designation symbol to show progress:
● The symbol + indicates an area of strength.
● The symbol ^ indicates an area where growth is needed.
● The symbol / indicates that the benchmark has not yet been assessed.
● No symbol expresses that progress is satisfactory.
