Student Programming (Grades 1-8)
- critical to accurate and meaningful reporting
- unless otherwise indicated, the report card provides information
about a students achievement relative to grade-level curricula.
-One of the following codes is used if the expectations for a student
are different from the grade-level curriculum in a subject.
EAL (English as an Additional Language): Achievement is based
on expectations that focus on English language learning.
L (Litteratie francaise, Francais Program): Achievement is based
on expectations that focus on French language learning.
IEP (Individual Education Plan): Achievement is based on
expectations that reflect special learning needs. (Due to, for
example, transiency, gaps in learning, or a cognitive disability)

1.2 Foundational Principles for
Grading
Academic grades are based on curricular learning outcomes,
and reported separately from learning behaviours
Grades should reflect a students most recent and consistent
learning
Greater consideration of evidence collected in the final term
shows the cumulative nature of learning
Grades are based on individual student achievement, not
group achievement
Evidence of achievement (e.g., documentation system, work
samples) is used to help determine a grade for academic
learning and some processes might provide evidence for
learning behaviours
Academic Achievement Scales - Numerical and Percentage
Grades
How Learning is Reported
1 to 6
A 1-4 numerical scale is used to report on achievement in each
within-subject category. There are no overall subject grades.
7 to 8
A 1-4 numerical scale is used to report on achievement in each
subject category. The percentage scale is used to report overall
subject grades.
9 to 12
The percentage scale is used to report overall subject grades for
each subject. There is no reporting of achievement for subject area
categories.

Course Complete: Final grade showing sufficient evidence of learning
for Grade 11 and 12 Physical Education/Health Education only.

learning for Grade 11 and 12 Physical Education/Health Education. May
also be used in other courses but not as a final grade.
IN
No exam applies
NE
No mark for the school-based final exam or provincial test, where
applicable
NM
NA Not applicable
IN Incomplete; not enough evidence available to determine a grade at this time
Codes used in Grades 9 to 12
Codes (cont.)
- In the rare cases when an IN or NA is used, such
as those identified below, it must be approved by
the principal and a comment should explain its use
- the code NA (not applicable) may be used...
when a students programming is coded as EAL, IEP, or L
(Francais only) and the student is not addressing certain content
as a result of their individual programming.
when certain aspects of a subject have not yet been addressed
- The code IN, Incomplete, may be used...
if a students level of achievement cannot be assessed (e.g.,
extended absence or being new to the school with no information
from the previous school available)
Assigning Grades
To determine grades, the teacher analyzes the
evidence, noting the most recent and consistent
learning aligned with the subject area categories,
as appropriate, and makes a judgement to
summarize the current level of achievement.
Term grades reflect a students achievement as
demonstrated from the beginning of the course.
Greater consideration should be given to learning
demonstrated later in the course, as appropriate
for the nature of the particular course and teaching
approach.

appearing on a report card apply to the
current reporting term only.

Teacher Comments
Meaningful comments identify student strengths, pinpoint areas
needing improvement, and provide suggestions as to how the student
can improve. (strengths, challenges and next steps)
Teachers are encouraged to personalize the comments for each
student so that they are specific to the students levels of academic
achievement and learning behaviour ratings.
Other considerations:
Language: - jargon-free, - respectful and constructive, - brief and
concise, - free of superlatives and absolutes such as best,
always, never, or vague words such as appears to, but,
however, - is congruent with the grading scale.
Strengths and Learning Goals: - unique to the learner, - specific to
the level of achievement relative to the report card and categories,
- evidence-based, using evidence from a wide variety of
assessment sources.
Teacher Comments
IF a child receives a grade of 1 or ND
in any subject category, comments
are REQUIRED.
Donts - include summaries of material taught during the term.
(This can be communicated in other ways since space is limited)
Quality Criteria
i.
Comments follow the framework of addressing strengths,
challenges, and next steps (practical, doable, timely) as
appropriate.
ii.
Comments are personalized for the student so that they are specific
to the students levels of academic achievement and learning
behaviour ratings.
iii.
Comments consider the use of Language as outlined in Section 4.6
of the Report Card Support Document.
iv.
Comments include Strengths and Learning goals for the student as
outlined in Section 4.6 of the Report Card Support Document

Comments:
Diego is a sensitive and soft spoken student who is becoming independent and who
assumes responsibility for his learning. During daily routines and instructions, he is able
to organize himself. As for using his time well, he does still require reminders to stay on
task, especially during Physical Education classes. Diego is able to listen and at times
ask clarifying questions. During group work, he is also able to work cooperatively by
listening to others, by responding to the needs of others and by resolving conflicts in
socially appropriate ways.
