Elementary Quarter 2 Report Cards
Dear Tualatin Elementary Parents/Guardians,
We are at the end of the second quarter as of this week. On February 10th, Quarter 2 report cards will be made available electronically through ParentVUE. For instructions to access your child’s, please use the link provided here… ParentVUE Access
The Quarter 2 report card, based on the Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL) experience that teachers and students are engaged in, reflects a focus and priority on reporting progress toward meeting specific standards in Reading and Math.
Not all reading and math standards listed on the report card are reported on each quarter. However, all standards are taught over the course of the school year, maintaining the same standards reporting practice as in previous years.
Other content areas, including science, social studies, integration of writing, music, physical education, and health are being taught throughout the instructional weeks. However, teachers may give specific feedback in the comment section of these subject areas, rather than a 1-4 grading designation.
An additional NG (No Grade) designation has been included based on CDL.
If students were not turning in assignments, and/or teachers worked to attempt to assess the student using an alternative method (observation, checklist, etc), the NG (No Grade) mark might then be used to indicate that there is not enough evidence to grade the student. This may be further clarified in the notes or comment section.
In Physical Education (PE) classes students are working on staying active through movement activities and games as well as developing movement skills through practice.
In music classes, students are developing music literacy and skills through singing, meaningful movement, intentional play, and creating.
