K-4 Standard Based Report System - Weathersfield School


Important Change in Plans
After much deliberation, WS will not be doing the standards based report cards until next fall.  We will use the same report cards we have been using in past years in grades K-4 and in specials classes.

We feel that we need to make this important transition carefully and thoroughly by spending more time learning about the common core standards first and then creating a report card which reflects the scaffolding of skill development appropriate at each and ever grade level.

K-4 Teachers and Specialists will tell you more about this at Parent-Teacher Conferences in November.  They will even have a mock report card to share with you.

We want to do this carefully and do it right!

Time affords us the opportunity to learn more about the system and to work with parents, answering any questions or concerns they may have.  We hope to roll out the new standards based report cards at School Report Night in the late spring.

We are hopeful that you will support our decision in this matter.

Feel free to call the school at 674-5400 if you have questions or concerns.
Many Thanks,
JeanMarie
