Reporting student progress to parents is changing at Paine Intermediate this school year. Report cards will include both standards and numerical grades for reading, math, and language for all grades. Fifth graders will receive numerical grades for science and social studies, too.
During the 2012-2013 school year, we piloted standards based report cards. Standards based report cards provide parents and students a clear indication of strengths and deficits. Progress toward meeting standards will be reported by a + for mastery or a - for non-mastery. In addition, numerical grades will be given for reading, math, and language in all grades.
Weekly papers will continue to be returned to students for parents to review and sign. Additionally, parents may access iNow Home Portal in order to keep up with progress. Instructions for accessing iNow Home Portal will be sent home on Monday, September 16. Please check with your child's teacher if you have specific questions about how grades are determined. You may call the office for questions about accessing iNow Home Portal. Report cards will be sent home at the end of each trimester.
