Grading Practices and Achievement Levels

I want to make you aware of the grading practices for Grade One. Students are not given grades or percentages.  They are given a description of their achievement level for the specific learning outcome.  

As I send home the work we do at school, you will notice that it will sometimes have an achievement level listed on it.  This means that your child did this work independently, and the assessment level reflects where their learning is at that point in time.

A description of the achievement levels are explained below:

EU – Enriched Understanding – Student demonstrates enhanced understanding of grade level outcomes.
DE – Developing as Expected – Student demonstrates expected understanding of grade level outcomes.
BD – Beginning to Develop – Student demonstrates initial understanding of grade level outcomes.
TS - Additonal Time and Support Needed – Student demonstrates more time and support is needed to meet grade level outcomes.

If you have any questions, please email me at elder.christa@prairiesouth.ca or contact me at the school.  Thanks!
