CMES April 2018
Principal's Corner by Jennifer Updike
Clinton-Massie Elementary has created a committee to implement Standards Based Report Cards at grades first through third. The committee including teachers, administration, and our curriculum director have worked hard over the past several months to create a consistent grading approach across the grade levels. Our preschool and kindergarten program currently use a standards based report card. Below is a great article that explains what a standards based report card is along with the advantages. We are excited to bring this to CMES for grades prek-third for the 2018-2019 school year.
