The primary purpose in reporting to parents is to show how well abilities are used and achievements are made. A progress report is designed to give parents a picture of their child’s continuous academic progress and continuous personal and social development. Three instruments are used to report the progress: a kindergarten progress report, a first and second grade progress report, and a third through sixth progress report.
The personal and social development items on the kindergarten progress report are noted as Satisfactory, Needs to Improve or Needs Time to Develop. Academic progress for the areas of Math and Language is noted as Indicates Skill Introduced or Indicates Mastery.
The personal and social development items on the first and second grade progress report are noted as Needs to Improve or Satisfactory. Academic progress is noted as Excellent Progress, Good Progress, Satisfactory Progress, Minimal Progress, or Unsatisfactory Progress. In addition to the academic progress marks, math and reading levels are indicated as Above Grade Level, At Grade Level, or Below Grade Level.
The personal and social development items on the third through sixth grade progress report are noted as Needs to Improve or Satisfactory. Academic progress is noted as A (90-100), B (80-89), C (70-79), D (60-69), or F (below 60). In addition to the academic progress marks, reading levels are indicated as Above Grade Level, At Grade Level, or Below Grade Level.
