13. Report Card Expectations CodeTranslationComments 4 Exceeding the grade level standard and producing quality work consistently This grade will be reported when a student demonstrates performance beyond expectations on a consistent and independent basis. 3 Meeting the grade level standard and producing quality work This grade will be reported when a student consistently and independently demonstrates mastery of a subject material. A 3 should be considered an excellent grade, one that a student should be working towards, as developmentally appropriate. 2 Progressing toward the standard and producing the required grade level work with teacher direction and assistance This grade will be reported when a student can meet expectations with teacher assistance and support, but often does not demonstrate consistent mastery in a set subject area or grade level standard. The student may need to continue developing a specific skill set and progress is being encouraged. 1 Beginning to develop the standard but not yet able to produce required grade level work This grade will be reported if there is concern in a student’s progress in a given subject, skill, or grade level standard.
