Report Card Reminder

Dear Parents,

Report cards will be mailed to your house within the next couple of weeks. I would like to take a moment to help you understand your Kindergartners report card. In Kindergarten, our grades our skills based. This means we have a set of skills that we would like each child to master each term and/or for the year. Your child will have either a NH (needs help) P (Progressing) M (Master) or - (not taught). There are several skills that need additional cognitive and physical development before we teach it to the class. Other skills are on going or build on each other. Knowing our alphabet letters/sounds and numbers are skills we expect each child to have mastered by the end of the year. We introduce a certain number of sight words each term. If your child is successful in recognizing these words, your child will get a master and etc.

If your child has received a NH in an area, that means they need additional help from you at home. If your child has received a P, that means your child is progressing and they are almost to a master and they are working hard, they may still need help from you at home. If your child has received a letter M, that means your child has mastered the skill for this term. Your child may received a M one term and the next a P. Each term, our skills in each category may change; we build upon, challenge, and deepen our knowledge. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please email me. Also, we are NOT using One Point this term so your student's grades are NOT reflective of your child's work.

Thanks!
Mrs. Anglesey
