K-2 Standards Based Report Card Information

Burke County Public Schools is excited to provide parents with a new way to report progress for kindergarten, first and second grade students. Students will be evaluated using a standards-based report card. A standards-based grade reporting system is designed to inform parents about their child’s progress towards achieving specific learning standards. The standards are based on the Georgia Standards of Excellence.  Standards-based instruction focuses on the mastery of grade level standards. Students have the entire year to master the grade level standards. The report card provides a snapshot in time of a student’s  progress towards meeting the standards. The standards-based report card provides parents with information on where their child is currently in the progress of meeting grade level standards. Unlike a traditional report card, scores are not averaged as the year progresses. Instead, the standards-based report card provides parents with real time information each quarter on their child’s progress towards meeting end of the year standards.
