FYI

All of the standards will be combined into one cumulative grade when inputed into PowerSchool. For example, art has four standards: making, thinking. looking & connecting. Instead of each of these standards having their own grade, they are combined into one grade.

You will see your child’s first Specials’ grades on the second trimester’s report cards.

Kindergarten grades will be on PowerSchool the third trimester.

If you have any questions about the art report card feel free to contact me.
