Students do not receive numerical grades in kindergarten. They will receive meaningful feedback from their teachers to guide their learning. The RRISD Primary Report Card is a standards-based continuum, meaning that progress is reported on the knowledge and skills your child is expected to master at each grade level. The continuum is based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and ranges from Performance Level 1 to Performance Level 4.

​

Level 1 - Exhibits skill/concept with direct guidance

Level 2- Exhibits skill/concept with minimal guidance

Level 3- Exhibits mastery of skill/concept

Level 4- Exhibits understanding beyond grade level expectation

​

Teachers assess a student's performance level through observation, work samples, dialogue, performance tasks, and other informal and formal measures. Students are retaught at the time of need and given multiple opportunites to show mastery of a concept or skill.
