On Monday your child will be bringing home their first "graded" spelling test. You will notice that I have indicated a "1", "2", "3", or "4" on their test - followed by the words "Beginning", "Progressing", "Proficient", or "Advanced". In the Papillion-La Vista School District we do not utilize a standard A,B,C, D, F grading scale. Instead we assess based on the standards and the student's mastery of the standards. The visual below is a document that I created to help the students to understand what each indicator means. These are the same indicators that you will find on the quarterly report cards. The goal for each student is to be proficient or advanced in all academic areas. If you notice a 1 or 2 on an assignment, this is an indication that your child still has room to grow in their understanding of the concepts covered on the assignment. These concepts would make a great focus for homework practice. If you ever have a question about an assignment, standard, or grade - please do not hesitate to contact me! :) Mrs. Heath
