From 2014/2015, schools should use this end-of-year 6th Class Report Card. The report card was developed to support the dual purpose of reporting to parents and transferring pupil information to post-primary schools. Codes for grades K-2 honor the developmental nature of learner progress at these grade levels. Alternate marking codes (I, P, NT or E, S, N) are often used with younger children when a system wants students to focus on learning, the alternate marking codes help parents get into the mindset of standards-based assessment rather than comparing learners to each other. Also, rather than getting a certain grade or comparing students to each other. FREE on-line tool will assist in creating a Common Core State Standards aligned report card template for grades kindergarten through high school. Currently all grade levels are available for English language arts. Grades kindergarten through 8th grade mathematics and Algebra are also available. Users will be able to produce a MS Word document that can be edited and customized.
