Standards Based Grading
The Methacton School District uses a standards-based grading system for students in grades K-4. This system helps us more accurately measure students’ mastery of PA Core Academic Standards in all subjects. The elementary report cards have been revised to reflect the changes to the state standards and Methacton’s curricula. The goal of this approach to reporting is to provide parents, students, and teachers with a detailed picture of what students know and are able to demonstrate. The information provided on the report card encourages dialogue about areas of strength and need, and how our students can continue to grow academically.
This article, Seven Reasons for Standards-Based Grading, explains more about standards-based grading.
As your child’s teacher explained during our Back-to-School night, I CAN statements have been developed to share with you what skills your child is being assessed on and the expectation of mastery for each trimester. The I CAN statements are listed on our MSD Family Center.

Counselor's Corner
Second Graders learned about the Conflict Escalator. Conflict, or a disagreement, does not have to be a bad thing. Sometimes a conflict can be a way to discuss a difference of opinions. Some strategies students practiced included: apologize, share & take turns, rock paper scissors, talk it out, “I feel” statements, and agreeing to disagree. Next week students will learn a few more strategies and how to decide when to use each strategy. You can practice talking things out when you have a conflict at home. For more conflict solving strategies, contact Lori Shaw, School Counselor at 610-489-5000 X41207 or LShaw@methacton.org
