Grades Reporting periods occur about every 4-5 weeks. About ½ way through each quarter, you will receive a “progress report” to let you know how your child is doing at that point. After each quarter, you will receive a report card. The K-5 Grade Reports to Parents include the following levels of performance: 4 = Above benchmark / Exceeds current grade level expectations 3 = Meets benchmark / At grade level expectations 2 = Approaching benchmark / Improving but not consistent 1 = Below grade level / Needs more time and support Blank = Not yet introduced You can login to ParentVue at any time to check your child’s progress
