More Information on theStandards-Based ReportCard / Más información enel Reporte de CalificacionesBasado en EstándaresDear Westbrook Families,
With parent-teacher conferences coming up this week, grades might be on your mind. Pleaseknow that conferences, which happen before your child receives a report card, are designed tobe a time to talk about the adjustment to the new school year, goal setting, and building astrong partnership to support your child’s success. That said, I want to share with you some information about the new standards-based reportcard. On November 30, you will be able to log into PowerSchool to see your child’s �rsttrimester report card. There will be a “Report Card” icon on the left navigation bar when reportcards are posted (that icon is not visible now). If you have trouble logging into PowerSchool,click here for help. With District 34’s move to standards-based grading comes a report card that has a differentlook and provides you and your child with greater information to understand his or herprogress. Please visit the K-5 Report Card page of the website to �nd resources forunderstanding standards-based grading, answers to common questions about the new reportcard, and samples of the report card. Report cards will be translated into Spanish, Korean and Mongolian. You’ll see the tabs at thetop of the screen on the Report Card page in PowerSchool. If you have any questions about the standards-based grading or the new report card, pleasecontact me, your child’s teacher, or Dr. Matt Silverman, Assistant Superintendent forCurriculum, Assessment & Instruction.
