Sample K-3 English Achievement Records |
Regulations
Establishing Standards for Accrediting Public Schools in Virginia that were
adopted by the Board of Education require that "Schools shall maintain, in
a manner prescribed by the board, an early skills and knowledge achievement
record in reading and math for each student in kindergarten through grade 3 to
monitor student progress and to promote successful achievement on the third
grade SOL tests. This record shall be
included with a student's records if the student transfers to a new
school."
In the spring
of 1999, the Virginia Department of Education developed two sample K-3 English
Standards of Learning Achievement Records. These sample records were created as
models for school divisions to use in developing their own achievement records.
The two
sample K-3 English Achievement Records have been revised to correlate with the
2002 English Standards of Learning. Attachment A is an explanation of the
sample K-3 English Achievement Records.
Attachments B and C are two revised samples of the achievement
records. Copies of this
Superintendent’s Memorandum, the explanation, and the two revised sample K-3
English Achievement Records can be found at http://www.pen.k12.va.us/VDOE/Instruction/sol.html.
Additional
information related to the K-3 English Achievement Records is referenced in
Superintendent’s Memorandum, No. 128, dated June 18, 1999. This memorandum is available at
