GRADE K-5 PARENT GUIDE TO STANDARDS-BASED REPORT CARDS Your child’ s standards-based report card lists the most important skills students should learn by the end of the school year in each subject at a particular grade level and is based on the Connecticut Core Standards. Instead of traditional letter grades, students receive marks that show how well they have mastered the skills and knowledge included in each grade level’ s standards.
Teachers use a variety of assessments, including observations and evidence collected, during the course of the grading period, to determine each student’ s level of proficiency. On your child’ s standards-based report card, you will see that each subject area is divided into a list of skills and knowledge that your child will be expected to learn by the end of the school year. Your child will receive a separate mark for each standard, which will indicate how well she / he is performing relative to grade-level standards during that marking period.

At the elementary level, there are three reporting intervals. For the first two intervals, students are assessed on their progress toward end-of-year standards. In the final reporting interval, the report card grades reflect a student’ s actual achievement of the cumulative skills, strategies, and concepts identified in the Connecticut Core Standards. It is expected that most students will achieve a grade of‘ 3’ by the end of the year for each grade level standard.
