Language Arts

Grades in Language Arts and Mathematics will not be reported at the individual standard level, but rather by strand/domain.

Specific Common Core Language Arts standards that go into each strand can be accessed here.

Physical Education

State and Board goals reflect greater emphasis on a well-rounded, holistic education. This report card draft communicates importance on Physical Education standards, by assigning both effort and progress indicators for physical activity (what kids do) and Five Components of Fitness (what kids know).

Mathematics

Specific Common Core Mathematics standards that go into each domain can be accessed here. Grey boxes will indicate the domain is not addressed in that trimester.

Technology

Student use of technology is embedded within Common Core writing standards and will receive both progress and effort indicators. A digital progression guide shows what this looks at each grade level.
