ROANOKE COUNTY, Va. – The Roanoke County Public School Board will discuss grading policies for K-2 students at today’s school board meeting.
According to the agenda, staff will withdraw their request to change the name from Report Card to Progress Report. Staff is also recommending a change to how report cards are written, specifically requesting to add letter grade designations so that the second-grade report card shows:

- Proficient (A/B)
- Approaching Proficiency (C/D)
- Not Yet Proficient (F)
In theory, the compromise would give parents an idea of how their child or children will perform in a third-grade system, which is already graded A-F.
The agenda also states that even for those in K-2, percentages and raw results will still be shown on all assessments.
The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. today at the RCPS Administration Building.
