BASD Report Card Grading Update
BASD Families:
Bethlehem Area School District is updating our Report Card Grading System for Grades 6-12 for the 2023-2024 School Year. The updated report card represents our primary aim: to improve our communication about student achievement toward learning goals with you. Elementary student report cards will remain the same. We wanted to share with you information on the new report card. Please take a moment to watch this video as Dr. Maureen Leeson, Assistant Superintendent and Chief Academic Officer, explains the updates to the report card and the changes you will see on this year’s report card.
