STANDARDS-BASED ASSESSMENT & REPORTING FOR ELEMENTARY
It’s all about student understanding and mastering a learning goal - and less about grades. A standards-based report card lists the most important skills students should learn in each subject at a particular grade level. Instead of letter grades, students receive marks or a code that show how well they have mastered the skills.
For more information please visit www.acs-k12.org/sbrc
A parent meeting will be on September 24th (incorrect date was given at Orientation). The meeting will be at 5:30 at the Athens City Schools Board of Education.
