[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Both my kids received what you described. Usually I don’t care, but they are also suddenly pulling 2s instead of 4s. :/[/quote] Funny, this happened to us as well...straight 3s across the board when in the past there has always been a mix of mostly 4s and a few 3s. And her test scores are many grade levels ahead of where she is for ELA in particular, so it seems just bizarre that she is at "meets expectations" for literally every single homeroom subject on the entire report card. I know that a) 3s are perfectly acceptable, b) these grades don't really matter and c) it's certainly possible that our special little snowflake just isn't doing as well this year (I mean, you can't hit 'em all out of the park, Larla) ...but it did make me wonder whether there are different criteria this year, or whether maybe her teacher (new to the district this year and seems a little...scattered) just phoned in the grading for this period and hoped nobody would notice.[/quote] We are in the same boat. All 3s and 4s in past years, now a mix of 2s and 3s despite a glowing parent teacher conference and all the assessments showing kid above grade level. Radio silence from the school on any context for the new report cards. Thanks to the poster who linked to the DC Assessment Guide for Families. For the Reading Inventory, it says that families should receive "parent letters after every administration" of the assessment. Has anyone ever received such a letter? [/quote] My DD got mostly 4s this year with a handful of 3s; higher percentage in Term 1 than previously. DS got all 4s except PE, but’s it’s his first report card so I don’t have a comparison to the old system. We got an RI letter with a copy of the actual exam for the first administration of the test to put DD this year. Not sure if it’s been administered again or not (I thought it was supposed to be every month or so), but we haven’t heard about it if so.[/quote]
