Other Tidbits:
- Report Cards will "go live" on PowerSchool on Friday, October 10. Please let me know if you have difficulty accessing them. Because we will soon be meeting to discuss your child's progress at Parent-Teacher Conferences, there will not be comments on the Quarter One report card.
- To clear up any potential confusion, please keep the following descriptions in mind when you see behaviors and standards assessed with the numbers 1, 2, or 3.
- 1 = Student has not yet mastered the knowledge/skills/content expected, OR Student behavior in a particular area is does not meet third grade expectations and/or requires many reminders.
- 2 = Student shows progression towards mastery of the content/standard, OR Student behavior is adequately meeting behavior expectations.
