• Principal’s Choice Guidelines

     

    At Northeast Elementary School, our students are held accountable to rigorous social, behavioral, and academic standards.  We understand the importance of recognizing those students who demonstrate academic excellence and adhere to the behavioral and social rules of our school.  In order to do this, we review our students’ quarterly performance reports and choose those who meet the requirements to be recognized on our Principal’s Choice list.

    This year, a new progress report format is being used in all elementary schools in Allegany County.  All students from k – 5 will now have their progress reported to parents using a number format.  Students in kindergarten, first, and second grades will only have numbers rating their progress for various indicators in all subjects.  Students in grades 3 – 5 will have numbers for indicators as well, with the addition of a letter grade indicating overall performance for the subject.

    Rating definitions are as follows:

      Performance

    4

    Thorough understanding

    3

    Adequate understanding

    2

    Partial understanding

    1

    Minimal understanding

     

    Behaviors

    4

    Independently exhibits behavior without teacher prompting

    3

    Frequently exhibits behavior with minimal teacher prompting

    2

    Inconsistently exhibits behavior and often requires teacher prompting

    1

    Rarely exhibits behavior and frequently requires teacher prompting

     

    In order to be recognized on the Principal’s Choice list, students in kindergarten, first, and second grades must earn all 3’s and 4’s on their report cards.  Students in third, fourth, and fifth grades must earn all 3’s and 4’s as well, along with all A’s and B’s. Additionally, students must not have any discipline referrals for the marking period.

    Thank you for your support of our instructional program at Northeast Elementary School as we encourage all of our students to do their best every day.  If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
