A New Year, New Report Cards

In order to better align with the new Common Core Learning Standards, we have established new standards-based report cards for students in grades pre-K-6. In conjunction with parental input, a committee of teachers worked last spring to create progress indicators aligned with the Common Core anchor standards in English language arts, Common Core math standards and Next Generation Science Standards. The new report cards will be distributed every trimester, not every quarter and I think you will find them much more informative than the old format.

Detailed information on the new report cards will be featured in our fall edition of the Outreach and workshops will be held to fully explain the new reports to parents at each level. Here are the dates for each workshop – mark your calendars now:

• Middle School – Oct. 23
• Jackson Avenue – Oct. 28
• Hampton/Meadow – Oct. 29
