Students in grades K through 1st grade are graded on a Standards Based report card system.  Grades are based on mastery of ALL of the art standards for that grade level for the entire year.  Students cannot receive a 3 (meets the standards) until ALL of the standards are taught for the entire year.  Most students can expect to receive 2's until the 4th quarter.
