To enhance communication between home and school, we are introducing grade-level rubrics that align with our standards-based approach, providing clarity on academic progress and expectations. In these rubrics, a score of four represents mastery, while a score of three or two indicates progress towards mastery. A score of one reflects minimal to no progress. This scoring approach allows families to understand precisely where their child is on the journey to mastering essential skills. Rubrics will be shared with students across all grade levels, excluding preschool, offering a consistent framework to assess progress in both literacy and math. They will be attached to classroom assignments shared with families.
The purpose of these rubrics is to create a transparent, accessible tool for both students and families, making academic goals clear and achievable. The rubrics detail what is expected at each grade level in key areas of literacy and math, allowing families to gauge their child’s strengths and identify areas for support. This approach is part of our commitment to supporting each child’s learning journey by keeping families well-informed and engaged in their progress.
Teachers will review and discuss the rubrics during parent-teacher conferences, providing a chance to discuss the specifics of each child’s progress. These conversations will allow families to ask questions, understand the scoring, and collaborate with teachers on strategies to help their children succeed. By fostering these open discussions, we aim to strengthen the home-school partnership and ensure that each student receives the support they need to achieve their academic goals.

Together we are and will continue to be Fort Belvoir strong!
