REPORTING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
For Grades 9 to 12, individual teachers will report on the student’s development of learning skills and work habits for each course, for each reporting period. Teachers may also include comments about the student’s learning skills and work habits in the “Comments” section of the report card provided for each course.
Reporting on Achievement of Curriculum Expectations: Elementary and Secondary
ELEMENTARY PROGRESS REPORT CARDS: GRADES 1 TO 8
For Grades 1 to 8, in the fall, teachers will use the Elementary Progress Report Card (Grades 1 to 6 or Grades 7 and 8) to inform parents of the progress students are making towards achievement of the curriculum expectations for each subject/strand. Teachers will check one of the following to indicate progress:
✓ Progressing With Difficulty ✓ Progressing Well
✓ Progressing Very Well
In the event that a student did not receive instruction in a subject/strand, the teacher will check the NA box.
PROVINCIAL REPORT CARD: GRADES 1 TO 6
For Grades 1 to 6, achievement of the curriculum expectations in each subject/strand is reported on the Elementary Provincial Report Card as a letter grade, with a plus or minus sign as appropriate. The provincial report card provides a chart showing the definitions of the four levels of achievement and their alignment with the letter grades (see Chapter 3, pp. 20–23, and Chapter 5, p. 40, as well as the report card templates in Appendix 2 in this document).
Codes “R” and “I”: For Grades 1 to 6, teachers may use the codes “R” and “I” on the report card to inform parents of students’ achievement. See the explanation of these codes provided in Chapter 5, pages 41–42.
PROVINCIAL REPORT CARDS: GRADES 7 TO 12
For Grades 7 to 12, achievement of the curriculum expectations for each subject (or strand) or course is reported on the provincial report cards as percentage marks. The report cards provide a chart showing the definitions of the four levels of achievement and their alignment with percentage marks (see Chapter 3, pp. 24–25, and Chapter 5, p. 40, as well as the report card templates in Appendix 2).
