WCPSS uses
standards-based grading for report cards that are provided at the end of each
quarter (nine weeks) of instruction. The purpose of the report card is to
inform students and parents about a student’s performance on the grade level
standards in all content areas.
Starting in the 2013-14
school year, WCPSS will not use 3* for the elementary
standards-based report cards. Student performance will be shown with
levels of 1 to 4 to indicate whether the student has met the expectations set
by the state in the Standard Course of Study and to indicate whether the
student has the necessary skills and concepts to be successful in the next
quarter or next grade. The descriptors for each level have been aligned to the
expectations of the new Standard Course of Study (Common Core State Standards and Essential
Skills) for all content areas.

Your student will
also receive a report of the student’s progress in the specials (Art, Music,
and PE) at the end of each semester. The
report is provided by the Specialist teaching that area.
In the comments
section, the teacher will share information related to growth, strengths and
needs of the student.
Parents may request
a conference with the teacher to discuss their student’s progress and ways to
support their learning in and out of school.
