Maury County Public Schools
Approximately 75 people including
teachers, principals, central office
administrators, and parents worked
for several months to create a new
K-1 standards-based report card.
This report card should enable home
and school to effectively work
together to help every student be
successful.

The reading and writing continuum provides a
useful tool to monitor the growth and
development of each child as he/she
becomes an independent reader and
writer. The grade level designations
represent optimal timing. Not all students
will reach these stages at these exact
times.

Communicating
Your Child’s Progress
Purposes of changing our methods of reporting your
child’s progress include the following:
 Communicating where students stand in
reference to specific expectations for their
learning
Not…
“How is my child doing compared to other
students in the class?”
but…
“How is my child doing with regard
to the learning expectations for this
level?”
5.27.05
Maury County Public Schools
 Providing examples based on student
work
Teachers should have clear examples of
student work at the various developmental
levels of performance. This provides
concrete examples to parents of teachers’
expectations. This will increase parents’
knowledge of what is expected and enable
them to help their child in making
progress.
5.27.05
Maury County Public Schools
 Provide consistent communication
A standards-based report card uses
clear and understandable labels that
help to break down the barriers between
home and school. It opens the way
between home and school for effective
collaboration in efforts to help every
student succeed!
