Report+Cards

June, 2013

Below is some guidance on how to make the “Pass/Fail” determination for each course:

 * ===== If you are reporting mostly 1’s and 2’s on a student’s 3 report cards for this school year, that student would be considered to “fail” (meaning “performs below grade level”.) =====
 * ===== If you are reporting mostly 3’s and 4’s on a student’s 3 report cards for this school year, that student would be considered to “pass” (meaning “performs at or exceeds grade level”). =====
 * ===== In the gray area of a student who has half 2’s and half 3’s, you should make the pass/fail determination using data such district writing and reading assessment scores, as well as your sense of where a student is at and how the student performed on the state tests. =====
 * ===== Please note that this “Pass/Fail” determination does not refer to whether the student has been promoted to the next grade or not. A “fail” determination indicates the student is not performing on grade level, but this does not mean the student is not getting promoted. =====
 * ===== This task is a new state regulation that went into effect last year with grades 4 and 5. This year all grades must have P/F designations. We do not know yet exactly how the state will use this data; however, it does not appear that this data will be made public. =====
