Dear Parents and Guardians,
Midterm reports for Trimester 1 will be available on October 4th through Skyward Family Access. These midterms will focus solely on Learning Habits, rather than reporting on academic performance at this time. Academics and Learning Habits are reported separately allowing teachers to identify and address specific behaviors that may impact student learning.
The Learning Habits are based on our ROAR expectations of demonstrating Respect, Ownership, Accepting, and Ready. Students are assessed based on the following performance ratings: 4 - Exemplary, 3 - Meeting, 2 - Approaching and 1 - Beginning. It is the goal that all students are Meeting expectations.
Strong learning habits form the foundation for success in all academic areas. Early in the school year, we want to ensure that your child is building essential skills such as:
Time management and organization
Active participation and engagement in lessons
Perseverance and resilience in the face of challenges
Responsibility for completing assignments and tasks on time
By focusing on these habits first, we are setting students up for long-term success. As they develop these skills, their academic achievements will naturally follow, and future reports will reflect their progress in content areas.
We encourage you to review your child’s learning habits report carefully and discuss how they can continue to grow in these areas. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher.
To understand your child’s performance rating please refer to the Standards-Based Grading and Reporting website to find the rubrics that describe expectations. Rubrics are available in both English and Spanish.
