Report Cards
D100 continues to move forward with standards-based reporting in accordance with recommendations from the Illinois State Board of Education. We’re committed to following best practices recommended by the Board, including learning from the experts. A critical step in the transition to SBR is to reflect and adjust, as needed once implementation has begun. Following review of the research, feedback from teachers and community members, and in order to maintain consistency throughout the year, the middle schools will continue to use the same format for quarters 2, 3, 4 that were implemented for quarter one; the proficiency scale of 1 through 4 will be used, rather than letter grades.
