How do I know my child is achieving?

Please monitor your child�s schoolwork. A consistent level of �Meeting 
Standard� (ME) is the goal by the end of the school year.  Communication 
with the teacher during conferences, sign-and-return student work, and phone 
contacts is important in sharing information about ongoing student progress.

How does my child compare to other students?

Students are assessed in relation to the achievement of the standard in the 
curriculum goals and objectives.  Individual progress toward grade level 
learning expectations is the basis of student achievement.

Should I be concerned if my child does not achieve (O) in everything?

Meeting Standards (G).  Outstanding (O) is exceptional; it indicates that 
your child demonstrates learning beyond current grade level expectations.

How can I help my child learn?

Parental interest and support has always been a key relationship to 
learning. Continue to monitor your child�s progress and provide enriching 
experiences.  Check teacher, school, and district newsletters and websites 
for general information about learning activities, program design, and 
parent meetings.
