RELIGIOUS OBSERVATION Below is a list of Days of Religious Observance for the 2009/2010 school year.

REPORT CARD GUIDELINES A report card is a legal permanent record and should engender respect. It should have a professional look about it. Please keep the following guidelines in mind when writing report cards: • SUBSTANTIATE GRADES – Be sure you can justify grades with objective data, both from your grade book and from the students’ work folders. Although New York State sets Learning Standards, schools determine the indicators of specific performance levels and effort grades. Please be consistent to maintain the integrity of grades. • STAY WITHIN REPORT CARD GUIDELINES – Use ONLY the grade indicators on the report card themselves. DO NOT qualify them in any way, such as adding a “+” or a “-“ to a grade. • BE CONSISTENT ACROSS THE GRADE LEVEL – Do your best as a group to identify specific indicators, which everyone agrees are representative of a student in each performance level. The basic guidelines remain. However, if the majority of the indicators describe the student, the student is performing at that level. • TAKE GREAT CARE WITH YOUR COMMENTS – o o Please base your comments solely on direct assessment and observable data. Try to address areas that the rest of the report card does not. For example, if Emily is performing at level 3 in math with a G grade for effort, it is essentially redundant to say, “Emily is doing well in math.” However, you may wish to comment on Emily’s initiative, organizational skills, contributions to class discussions, politeness, etc… Please note that it is observable behavior and facts that would lead you to make remarks about these qualities, rather than a mere opinion. Report cards are written to parents, not students. Therefore, comments like, “Good work, Jared,” and Keep it up, Jill,” do not really belong.
