Seattle Public Schools implementing updated elementary progress reports
Seattle Public Schools is implementing an updated elementary progress report this school year which provides specific information about a student’s current performance on the current state and district learning standards.
The report summarizes information in three areas:
1. Behaviors That Promote Learning: How a student learns.
A student will receive a S, D, or E to indicate current performance in each area:
S = Strength (consistently uses skills across subjects and settings)
D = Developing (applies skills in most subjects and settings)
E = Emerging (beginning to apply skills in some subjects and settings)
2. Academic Performance: What a student has learned.
A student will receive a 4, 3, 2 or 1 to indicate current performance in each area, based on where a student should be at this point in the school year if on track to meet the Grade Level Expectation by the end of the school year. An asterisk is used when an area has not yet been taught or evaluated.
4 – Exceeding performance expectations at this time
3 – Meeting performance expectations at this time
2 – Approaching performance expectations at this time
1 – Below performance expectations at this time
* – (asterisk) Indicates not evaluated at this time
3. Learning Progress: How much a student has progressed over time.
A student will receive either a + or – to indicate current progress in each area:
+ for significant progress
for steady progress
– for minimal progress
