Why Change• Current progress reports are time consuming
for teachers and can be interpreted many ways.
• Needed more precise, detailed information for parents. Provides explicit information about the standards for that quarter.
• Proposal is standards based and aligned with new ACPS curriculum.
• Ability (in future) to connect with electronic grade book with progress report.
• Move to PowerSchool provides for improve application to support progress reports.

with standards at that point in time. (Not a quarter wide average.)
Student achievement in reading and math is marked against their instructional level to acknowledge the progress of all students.
