Reporting Pupil Progress

The reporting system of the Prince George's County Public Schools offers both a report card and a parent-teacher conference. Report cards are issued four times per year for kindergarten through grade five. The final report card is issued at the close of the school year. A parent-teacher conference is scheduled at a mutually convenient time for both the parent and the teacher during one of the reporting periods. The parent or teacher may request additional conferences. If a parent is unable to attend a scheduled reporting conference, we request that the parent reschedule the conference.

The report card represents an evaluation of the student's progress in subject areas, work habits, and behavior. The symbols used by the teacher are determined by the grading policy for that grade-level, as measured by the student's ability. Grading policy and procedures for our school will come home at the beginning of each school year.

Grades given for each grade level are:

Kindergarten and Grade 1

• PR= Proficient
• IP= In Progress
• EM= Emerging
• ND= Needs Development

Grades 2-5

• A = Excellent Progress
• B = Above Average Progress
• C = Average Progress
• D = Below Average Progress
• E = Unsatisfactory Progress

At the midpoint of each grading period, an Interim Progress Report for all graded subject areas, including work habits and social skills, is issued to parents. This reporting system enables the home and the school to share information about each student's progress.
