Elementary Grading Guidelines for Students with Disabilities

Students Receiving Accommodations Under Section 504

Students receiving accommodations under Section 504 are responsible for mastering the entire general education

curriculum with accommodations only. Accommodations alone, such as extra time or large-print textbooks do not

alter the curriculum and are not coded on the report card. Documentation reflecting the implementation of

accommodations is required. District grading policies will apply to students participating in the general education

curriculum without curriculum modifications unless determined otherwise within the student’s individual

accommodation plan (IAP).

Students Receiving Services Under IDEA

Students with disabilities receive instruction in a variety of settings as determined by the Admission, Review, and

Dismissal Committee (ARDC). Each student with a disability must have an individualized education plan (IEP) that is

properly developed, implemented, and maintained in the least restrictive environment that is appropriate to meet the

student’s educational needs.

The Texas Education Code §28.002 states that all students shall participate actively in a balanced curriculum designed

to meet individual needs. The TEKS represent the core knowledge, skill, and competencies all students should learn, in

order to be effective and productive members of society. Students with disabilities shall be instructed in the TEKS in a

manner appropriate to their needs. The student’s IEP must include a statement of measurable annual goals designed

to meet the child’s needs that result from the child’s disability to enable the child to be involved in and make progress

in the general curriculum. For students taking alternate assessments aligned to alternate achievement standards, the

IEP must also include a description of benchmarks or short-term objectives. The following guidelines are meant to

ensure that grades convey meaningful information to parents regarding their child’s progress.

1. Students with disabilities who do not meet the Pre-K age requirements (4 years old by September 1st) enrolled

in a PPCD class

An IEP and/or BIP updates will serve as the report card for students enrolled in a PPCD program.

2. Students with disabilities who are Pre-K age (4 years old by September 1st) enrolled in a PPCD class

Students enrolled PPCD will receive IEP and/or BIP updates as well as a report card each grading period. In

addition, they will receive the Early Literacy and Early Math Skills checklist (Appendix A).

3. Students with disabilities who are Pre-K age (4 years old by September 1st) enrolled in a Pre-K Inclusion class

Students enrolled in Pre-K inclusion will receive IEP and/or BIP updates as well as a report card each grading

period.

4. Students with disabilities who are in grades K-2

For students who are in grades K-2 and who are functioning below grade level expectations in the area of reading,

an Early Literacy Skills Checklist (See Appendix B) will accompany the regular report card to reflect growth of

reading skills, even though the student is performing below grade level. For students in grades 1-2 who are

functioning below grade level expectations in the area of math, the Early Math Skills Checklist (see Appendix B)

will accompany the regular report card. District grading policies for science and social studies will be followed for

students in grades K-2.

Revised April 2018

5. Students in grades 3-5 participating in the general education classroom, are enrolled in a regular TEKS

curriculum:

The ARDC may determine that a student with a disability will be responsible for mastering the entire general

education curriculum with accommodations only. Accommodations alone, such as extra time or large-print

textbooks do not alter the curriculum and are not coded on the report card. Documentation reflecting the

implementation of accommodations is required. District grading policies will apply to students participating in the

general education curriculum without curriculum modifications unless determined otherwise by the student’s

ARDC.

6. Students participating in the general education and/or special education classroom and are enrolled in a

modified TEKS curriculum:

The ARDC may determine that a student with a disability requires extensive accommodations within the general

education curriculum. If a student is receiving modified instruction in an academic setting, his/her daily grades will

be the grade earned by the student after receiving modified instruction and assignments/activities as appropriate;

the student’s test grades from teacher and campus created tests will also reflect his/her grade earned with

appropriate modifications. The student’s test grades from district assessments (CBAs and simulation tests) will be

determined using a modified passing standard (see Appendix B). Students will receive grades from the general

education teacher, the special education teacher, or jointly as determined by the ARDC.

7. Students participating in the general education and/or special education classroom in grades K-5 who are

enrolled in an alternative TEKS curriculum, and are projected to take the STAAR-Alternate for state testing:

The ARDC may determine that a student’s disability impacts achievement to the extent that the student must be

assessed on alternate standards. District grading policies will not apply to these students. Grades for students

who are projected to or who will be taking the STAAR-Alternate for state testing will be calculated as follows:

Students will receive a minimum of 16 grades during each 9 week grading period, which will be categorized into

three areas for ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies:

A Curriculum Performance: This grading category will be weighted as 34% of the student’s grade; one grade per grading period. Based on the mastery criteria set in the student’s long term goal (i.e. 3/5 trials, 70%), use the TEKS Alternate Grading Conversion Chart (Appendix D) to determine the grade for each short-term objective. The average of all short-term objective grades for each subject will serve as the Curriculum Performance grade. Do not take a grade for any objective that has not yet been addressed.

B Pre-Vocational: This grading category will be weighted as 33% of the student’s grade; one grade per month. A grade will be assigned based on pre-vocational skills pertaining to each subject area. Grades will be assigned as follows:

70 – Minimal progress (no logical order to task, task is incomplete, requires hand-over-hand [if not written into IEP as required support], etc.)

80 – Showing improvement (some sequencing of steps, finished product isn’t completed correctly, teacher reteaches and provides support above and beyond student’s documented needs)

90 – Mastered a skill in an isolated or single setting (i.e. can complete a sequence within the fundamental skills classroom but not in the kitchen or other area, teacher support is minimal)

100 – Mastered and generalized the skills across settings (with little to no teacher interaction)

C Group Collaboration: This grading category will be weighted as 33% of the student’s grade (which should not fall below a 60%); one grade per grading period.

Page 3: Elementary Grading Guidelines for Students with Disabilities

Revised April 2018

If any student has not made sufficient progress on 2 progress reports / report cards consecutively, an ARD meeting will

be held to review the student’s IEPs, put more supports into place, etc. For all students there may be situations where

modifications to the district grading policies are necessary. Such exceptions to the district grading policy shall be

outlined within the student’s individual education plan.

Reporting Progress on the Individual Education Plan

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that in addition to reporting grades, that progress on the

goals and objectives in the IEP must be reported at the same intervals as progress reporting for students without

disabilities. In the Alvin ISD, students are graded quarterly and progress reports are sent home at three week

intervals. For purposes of meeting the requirements of IDEA, teachers will be required to send home percentage

progress on the goals and objectives in the IEP at the same time that grades are sent home. During progress reporting

periods, a statement of whether or not progress is sufficient to meet mastery of the IEP must be sent home as a part

of the progress report. Any variation from this guideline for progress reporting shall be outlined within the student’s

individual education plan.
