STUDENT PROGRESS and SCORES:
Student Progress – Parents may track their student’s progress by utilizing these resources:
 Read the emailed newsletter for information on what your student is working on in class.
 Check student’s planning sheet regularly for homework assignments including unit assessments
and project due dates.
 Look at corrected/scored work coming home on Fridays.
 Ask your student what they are working on both at home and at school.
 Take time to complete the conference form with your student prior to October conferences.
Scores – We use a standards-based assessment system in the Edmonds School District.
4 = Student has provided extensive evidence of exceeding core expectations.
3 = Student has provided sufficient evidence of meeting core expectations.
2 = Student has provided partial evidence of meeting core expectations.
1 = Student has provided little or no evidence of meeting core expectations.
On daily work, projects or assessments you can think of the scale in this way:
4 = Exemplary work, goes above and beyond the requirements of the assignment; student has
demonstrated knowledge and development of concepts above expectations.
3 = Work meets requirements of the assignment; student has demonstrated knowledge and development
of concepts that meets expectations.
2 = Work partially meets requirements of the assignment; student has demonstrated knowledge and
development of concepts that is approaching expectations.
1 = Work does not meet requirements of the assignment; student has demonstrated little or no knowledge
and development of concepts to meet expectations.
Often, on the daily work, projects or assessments, I will include a (+) or (-) next to the score that will give
you and the student an idea of how close they are to a solid 2, 3, or 4. However, on the report card, only
the whole number is used.
Most projects or large, long-term assignments will be described in detail in a handout provided to the
student with a rubric of the expectations of the assignment or project. The rubric will be used for
scoring.
On some work, there will only be an indicator of progress toward meeting core expectations. This is
usually work completed in class as practice following a lesson or a quick check of a short assignment or
assessment.

I do my best to thoroughly communicate expectations to students and work with them to understand
their scores. There are many reasons a student may not be meeting expectation. I encourage students to
talk with me if they have questions about their progress or scores. If you have questions or concerns
about your student’s progress or scores, please contact me via email or by phone.
