THE STANDARDS-BASED ELEMENTARY REPORT CARD (PBSD 2478)

All students in Grades K-5 will receive the alternative marking code that meets the state
criteria of reporting a student’s academic performance in each class or course. [Florida Statute
§ 1003.33]
1. Standard and performance codes are based on the quality of student performance relative
to the Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS), Mathematics Florida Standards (MAFS), and
Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) in Social Studies and Science and
Access Points
2. Quality of work will be assessed by multiple measures that include, but are not limited to:

 assessments (essay, multiple-choice and completion tests, oral tests, and skill tests
requiring demonstrations);
 alternative methods (portfolios and performance assessments); and
 teacher observations (oral presentations or reports, speeches, recitations, impromptu
speaking and demonstrations).

5. Indicators of the student’s quality of work on assessments are found under Standard Codes
and Performance Codes on the report card.
6. A sufficient number of marks will be recorded to justify the marking-period standard and
performance codes. A marking-period Standard or Performance Code is not based solely
on a single project.

7. Recorded Standard and/or Performance Codes will not be changed without a review of the
reason(s) and approval of the principal. Any Standard and/or Performance Code change
requires two signatures on the School District of Palm Beach County Grade/Course Change
Documentation (PBSD 0797), which can be found on the District website at:
https://www.palmbeachschools.org/forms/formsearch/ indicating the change and the
reason for the change. If initiated by a teacher, approval of the principal must be obtained.
If initiated by the principal, approval of the teacher or the Regional Superintendent must
be obtained. The teacher will be consulted prior to the initiation of any change by the
