Report CardStep 1: Instruction

At each grade level, there are standards provided by the Texas Education Agency. These standards state what each child must know and be able to do by the end of 2nd grade. Teachers base their instruction on what the state requires of students.


Report CardStep 2: Classwork

After instruction, students are given multiple opportunities to demonstrate how well they learned the standard.

Step 3: Documenting Mastery

Teachers take the work that the student completes and then evaluate it based on a rubric. The rubric score will provide specific information about where students are in the process of learning the standard.

Step 5: Report Cards


Report Card

At the end of the grading period, your child will get a report card. Your child will receive a score of 4, 3, 2, or 1 on each of the standards listed. This will give you information about how your child is progressing in mastering the standard. If an area is shaded in, that particular standard is not taught during that grading period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can I find the standards that the Texas Education Agency provides?

A: Follow the link provided to view the standards for 2nd grade students: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148

http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148


Q: Will the portfolio ever come home?

A: The portfolio stays at school so that the teacher and student can monitor progress toward mastering the standard. At the end of the year, the portfolio can be sent home.


Q: Will my child bring any class work home for me to see?

A: Yes. All class work will not be put into the portfolio. The teacher will choose pieces of work to put in the portfolio that show how your child is doing on each of the standards


Q: If I need more information about how my child is doing, what should I do?

A: Always contact your child’s teacher. A note, phone call, or email is a good way to communicate with your child’s teacher and get information about your child’s progress.


Q: I have older kids that get traditional grades? Is this really a better way to evaluate students?

A: A traditional grade is an average of many standards. A student might be doing well on one standard while not mastering another. When the scores are averaged, it is hard to know what the student needs help with. This system allows you to know exactly how your child is doing on each standard. This helps motivate students so they know how they are progressing while providing information about where they need specific help.


Q: Is it ok for my child to get a “1” or a “2” on a standard?

A: Yes! When a student is beginning to learn a new standard, expect them to be at the “below basic” or “basic” level. As the year progresses, the scores might go up and down depending on the expectations. It’s important to focus on successes and challenges. In this way, you will know HOW to help your child improve if needed.


Q: My child has an Individual Education Plan. How does this affect him/her?

A: Your child will get this report card but only be marked where appropriate. The IEP that is specific for your child will be included with this report card so that you have accurate information on your child’s progress.


Q: Will there be a section on the report card focused on conduct or work habits?

A: Yes. The scores your child receives in academic areas do not reflect conduct or work habits. There is a section for teachers to provide you information about how your child is progressing in work habits, social skills, attendance, etc. There will also be a “comment” box that teachers can provide additional information.


Q: How can I support this new process at home? A: When your child comes home each day, ask them what they “can” do. Teachers use “I can” statements in the classroom to help remind students what they are working on. Students should be able to tell you what they are learning in the classroom. This makes a nice start to a conversation centered on learning.
