[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an older kid so it's a different scale but I would guess that is something like "Mastered skill" and "progressing"

Standards like healthy decisions are usually covered in PE

For older kids this is the code:

Meets Standard: The student consistently demonstrates mastery of the standard.

Approaching Mastery: The student is in the process of mastering the standard.

Developing Mastery: The student demonstrates initial understanding of the standard with support.

Insufficient Evidence: The teacher does not have evidence to determine a student’s mastery le[/quote]

Are you sure about that "insufficient evidence" definition?
Unless they've changed it in the last few years, "I" should mean the student has demonstrated insufficient mastery or progress in that area; not that the teacher doesn't have enough evidence to evaluate.
But, we've been out of elementary a few years; so I guess it must have changed?

OP, for what it's worth, APS report cards are pathetic.  They are unnecessarily complex in the younger years; and the teacher comments mean absolutely nothing and are absolutely non-helpful in the middle and high school years.  Teacher comments are rarely helpful or informative in the elementary years.  As long as your child is "meeting" or "progressing," don't worry about it.  Grades begin in 3rd grade and it will be a little easier to tell how they're performing without talking to the teacher all year long.  Meanwhile, take advantage of the parent teacher conferences and just ask your child's teacher if you want to know how they're doing.[/quote]
That’s copied from Parentvue. Now most (all?) elementary schools have transitioned to standards-based grading. [/quote]
