About the report card (elementary students) 

As you may know, South Milwaukee elementary schools have moved to evidence-based grading for the skills and content we need each student to know by the end of each year. This report is meant to better inform parents on what the key skills and standards each student should learn by the end of the year. 

What is important to keep in mind when reviewing your child’s progress? 

• Many of the standards and skills are written to achieve mastery by the end of the year. A score of AE or Approaching Expectations, is an appropriate score for a majority of the school year. 
• Depending on the time of year, some skills might receive a score of *, which means Not Assessed--that means this skill or standard is taught and learned in a different trimester. 
• A score EE means Exceeds Expectations. Please know this is not equivalent to a traditional “A” letter grade. Exceeds Expectations means that the student is regularly working independently and able to apply the skills in new and different ways. While we certainly push all students to achieve high levels, Meets Expectations means that they are applying the skills in a way appropriate for their grade and developmental level. 

How can I monitor and support my child’s progress and growth?

• Check in with your child’s teacher regularly.
• Engage in any communications teachers share via SeeSaw or Google Classroom.
• Ask your student open-ended questions about what they are learning. Using questions that start with “How” or “Why” gives kids practice to be able to explain their thinking- this goes a long way to help support and push students toward skill mastery!  

Our goal with reporting student progress is to make it clearer for everyone how students are growing and learning. If you have any questions about the report card, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher, the building principal, or Christie Gajewski, Director of Instruction.
