Report Cards Grades 1 and 2

Report Card for Grades 1 and 2 Princeton Charter School's quarterly report cards and interim reports (half-way through the quarter) were designed to meet the PCS Charter’s promise of “timely and complete communication with parents about their child's progress.”.

The report cards consist of three segments:

At the top is a summary section giving the student's and teacher's names, the subject, the marking period number, data, and an overall grade for the subject and for the effort the student made.

The next segment breaks down the student's progress into subject areas and learning skills with specific skills for each area. The subject areas are: phonemic awareness, reading and writing, mathematics, science, history and geography. The learning skill areas are: listening and speaking, social and personal growth, work and study habits. The specific skills for each area are listed below.
The final section is a comment area, where each teacher gives a two-to-five-sentence comment for the parents of the student.

Although these report cards take a little more time than a simple check-list report card, the school community, students, teachers, and parents, benefit from gaining a more complete picture of a student’s progress.

Each student is given one of the following indicators for each of the areas below: 4 - above grade level
3 - meets grade level standards
2 - approaching grade level
1 - below grade level
NA - Not Applicable
