REPORT CARD INFORMATION
The end of the trimester is November 30th. Report cards will be visible on the Parent Portal in mid-December. Families will receive an email from WCASD when they are available for viewing.
HOW TO UNDERSTAND REPORT CARDS
Grades K-2 - WCASD utilizes standards-based reporting. Each child will receive a 1, 2, 2+, 3, or 4 for each standard addressed this trimester. N/A means that the standard has not yet been assessed. This year, your child may also receive N/A if we do not have enough data/information to accurately assess your child. Please remember the goals are end of year standards/expectations. In December, you may see many 2’s and some 1’s which is appropriate for this time of year. The expectation is that students meet the standards with a 3 by the third and final report card in June. In addition, please know that 4’s are rare to receive, even at the end of the school year. For a child to reach that level, he/she is performing significantly and consistently above the standard expectations.
Grades 3-5 - WCASD utilizes numeric grades (45-100) that correspond to letter grades (A, B, C, F) for core subjects. Please know that standard grading (1, 2, 3, 4) does not correlate to a letter grade. Teachers utilize various assessments and assignments to determine an overall grade. Parents are encouraged to stay abreast of progress via Parent Portal over the course of the entire trimester. Click here to set up parent portal weekly emails if you have not already done so. This will help you stay on top of your child's grades.
Learning support students and reading support students will receive progress reports at the same time that report cards go live on Parent Portal in December.
LRBS- Learning Related Behaviors are assessed for all students: (NI) needs improvement, (P) progressing, or (DC) demonstrates consistently (DC). This year, your child may receive N/A if there is not enough data/information to accurately assess the LRB.
Special Area Subjects - For grades K-5, we utilize standards-based reporting as noted above for K-2.
