Standards Based Grading on Regular Education Report Cards in WCPSS:
- WCPSS Academics Link
- Our IEP Progress Reports have a different grading system. Parents are informed of their child’s progress toward the annual goals stated in the IEP and of the extent to which that progress is sufficient to enable the child to achieve the goals by the time of the annual review.
- The IEP Progress Report shares the progress made on your child's IEP goals which target her/his individual instructional level - not their regular education grade level.
