UNDERSTANDING REPORT CARDS AND POWER SCHOOL IN GRADE 2

Report Cards

*  All schools in the Diocese of Albany use report cards chosen by the Diocese

*  One report card is used for grades 1 - 4.

Each Subject:

*  The number/letter grade at the top represents your child's average

   This grade comes directly from the assignment grades entered into Power 

   School.

*  Underneath you will see NYS standards - the standards receive a "grade" of

   excellent, good, improving, and needs improvement 

   The classroom teacher enters this grade based on assignment grades as

   well as daily classroom performance.
