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 .
