Report Cards
Report Cards will be sent via email on Friday, December 2. Included in the report card will be information on absences and how your child is assessed on learning skills. In addition, teachers will be writing notes in the comment section. If your child sees additional staff members as a part of their learning, there will be a separate comment box at the end of the report card for you to review.
Our rating scales, which we call proficiency scales, are used to determine grading on our report cards. We have developed scales for both English Language Arts and in Math. At this point we have not done these for Science, Social Studies, or for Specials. These will be developed in the future. At this point those classes are just listed just by name, but will be getting a rating of 3, 2, or 1.
We encourage you to review your child's grade level proficiency scales prior to report cards being sent home. Click the link below to navigate to our website. There you will see each grade levels proficiency scales, report card templates, and our Parents Guide to Standards- Based Grading
Yearbook Orders
If your student would like a yearbook for the 2022-2023 school year, please head to our online store to order. Hardcover books are $20, and softcover are $15. If you have any questions, please contact the Yearbook Coordinators, Bethanie Dajka (bdajka@millburn24.net) and Laura Clark (lclark@millburn24.net).
