The purpose of our newsletters is to help parents understand the new Standards Based Report Card for grades K-4.
The new Standards Based Report Card being implemented by the Franklin Township Public Schools has been created for the purpose of providing parents the most accurate, fair and useful information about their child’s progress in school.The report card gives a clear message to parents about what their children know, what they are able to do, and what they need to learn in relation to the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards.Each marking period provides students multiple opportunities to practice, attain, and demonstrate mastery of the standards.
In grades K-4, there are four marking periods.At the end of each marking period, you will receive information about your child’s progress.
Students are evaluated based on their progress toward end-of-year standards.In other words, you will be updated on your child’s progress in learning what is expected at that grade level by the end of the year.
A mark of “Meeting Standards” means your child is making steady and adequate progress toward achieving end-of-year expectations.
In the final marking period, the marks reflect your child’s actual achievement of the skills, strategies and concepts identified in the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards.
Please select the correct subject and year of the newsletter located on the left column that you would like to read.
Thank you,
