Progress for students in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade will be assessed through the use of a standards-based progress report card in the areas of English/Language Arts and mathematics. Each skill will be assessed for grade level mastery and assigned a level of expectation as outlined in the chart below.

Letter grades “E” (Excellent), “S” (Satisfactory), “N” (Needs Improvement), or “U” (Unsatisfactory) will be assigned for science, social studies, responsibility for learning, and when assigning progress in special areas (PE, art, music, library, and guidance) in kindergarten-second grade.

Numerical grades, utilizing the State’s uniform grading scale, will be used to record a student’s progress in alignment with Tennessee education standards in math, English language arts, social studies and science.
