1St Grade Parent Supplement

1st Grade Parent Supplement:

Dear Parents,

Each quarter, you will receive a grade card evaluating your student’s progress toward proficiency on a particular district power standard. Power standards are learning standards our faculty has discussed and agreed to be the most essential learning for the grade level; however, these are not the only standards your child will learn throughout the semester. In the tables below, there are three columns. In these columns you will notice the terms reporting topic, grade level, power standard, strand, and CCSS Code). These terms refer to the following:

· Reporting topic- This is what appears on the grade card in condensed language and linked to a power standard.

· Grade level- The grade level in which your student is enrolled.

· Strand- This is an overarching term that includes several power standards in that particular area.

· Power standard- This column represents a more detailed explanation of the knowledge required by the standard. In this document, you will find a scoring template giving a detailed explanation of learning expectations for students. Assessments and activities are designed from these scales.

· Standard Code- This is the unique letter and number code assigned to the standard.
