[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found this new style completely useless. My kid got all 2s not only in specials, but also in all SEL areas. From asking around, it sounds like everyone (in the grade, at least) did. So what’s the point? He also got the same “grade” in areas where he shows vastly different levels of competency. The comments were vague/generic and unhelpful as well.

I agree, what's the point of sending progress report in q1 if it does not provide any meaningful info until at least q3 or q4? Also by the time these assessments to the grade level are finally informative, aren't we already late in providing the right support to help meet the standards? [/quote]

Exactly! Especially in math. My kid got a 2 in a topic that I believe is finished being taught for the year/the unit is complete. I think a 2 means he didn’t learn that topic adequately, so I will need to support at home. But I don’t know for sure and now have to follow up with his teacher like the other 25 sets of parents in the class.[/quote]

I vote we all ask why performance has dropped off for our child and demand our children be evaluated as they are now scoring so low. I know I will be contacting the principal to express my concerns. With this insane grading system you will only find out if your student is actually failing/achieving at the end of the year. [/quote]

Why are you contacting the principal? Do you think they actually have any say in SBG? Contact Admin or speak in front of the school board during public comments.[/quote]
