Report Cards
On Friday, November 15, students in kindergarten through fifth grades will bring homethe first progress reports of the year. First trimester ended on Friday, November 1.Please review your childs progress with him/her. Children often experience a range offeelings regarding their report cards.
When reviewing your childs progress, you may want to keep the following in mind:
Celebrate accomplishments, behavior, attitude, and participation in class and inother areas of the school. Ask your child to discuss the different subject areas,citing his/her favorite, what is appealing about it and what was learned. Identifyareas of strength.
Review scores that are below or approaching the standard, but avoid blame orpunishment. Identify the areas that need attention and together, devise anappropriate plan for improvement.
Ask your child to cite subjects in which s/he put forth effort, may have struggled,but persevered with tasks and realized that attitude influences learning. Theseconcepts, cultivated and refined throughout the school years, will assist your childin being successful with a range of tasks, in school and in other areas of daily life.
The assessment scoring is based upon a 4-point rubric, with the goal of reachingProficiency, or a rubric of 3,by the end of the school year on specific standards andmeasurement topics. Students and their parents have the opportunity gauge theirprogress towards mastery of a specific set of learning goals.
Rubric Scores:
4-Exceeds the Standard (Advanced): Student takes initiative to exceed the standard;consistently produces excellent work anddemonstrates an exceptional level ofunderstanding, applying and transferring advanced skills and complex thinking into thedistrictcurriculum standard.

Subject: Open Enrollment for School Year 2014-2015
Pursuant to A.R.S. 15-816 Catalina Foothills School District will begin its open enrollment
procedures for the 2014-2015 school year effective December 1, 2013. The law requires every
Arizona school district to follow a prescribed procedure and timetable for admitting out-of-
district transfer students and resident transfer students (those who live in the District but are
attending a school outside the attendance area of their residence). All students who currently
attend CFSD schools and reside in other districts, and all CFSD resident students who are
attending a different school than they would based on their residence, are impacted by this law.
We require that all open enrollment students apply for admission each year.Therefore, if your child is a resident transfer (open enrollment) student and you want him/her to
continue in that capacity, or if your child resides outside of the district and you want him/her to
continue to attend a CFSD school next year, please complete an application form between
December 1, 2013, and February 28, 2014.
Open Enrollment applications and information regarding the application
process are on the district web site, www.cfsd16.org(as of December 1, 2013), orat the district office Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The district office is located

promise to be good stewards of these tax dollars to provide a high quality educational
program for our communitys children.
