Grade Reporting

GCPS K-5-Promotion Criteria

Students are promoted to a higher grade based on their mastery of grade level, academic, knowledge, and skills (AKS). Students who are experiencing difficulty on their grade level's AKS will be placed on an Academic Contract that will identify what the school, parent, and child will do to help the student
succeed. Any child unable to be reasonably successful in the next grade level will be retained in the current grade. 4th grade students must demonstrate proficiency on the Gateway and CRCT for promotion. 5th grade students must demonstrate proficiency on the writing assignment for promotion.

Elementary progress reports describing a student's progress are sent to parents at the end of each nine weeks. Two Early Release conferences are scheduled with parents during the school year.
