Appendix B: Sample Standards-Based Report Card

The purpose of this appendix is to provide detailed instructions for creating a sample standards-based report card that is representative of the type of report card you can create for your school district. GradeBook provides numerous, custom-designed options for printing report cards, a few of which are discussed in a later section. This sample details a few of the more complex template options including letter boxes, using RTF code to enhance the display of your report card and inserting subject continued subheadings when needed.

You are not limited to the options used in this example when building report cards in GradeBook. Typically, a district designs the report card and standards assessment language for each subject in advance. This design phase may include consideration of the template options that GradeBook offers. See “Appendix A: Sample Traditional Report Card.” Once the design has been agreed upon, the GradeBook system manager creates the report card in GradeBook following a similar procedure as the one included in this chapter.

Upon completion of this chapter, you will have created a report card similar to “Standards-Based Report Card Example – Page 1.”

Template pieces for report cards are available to ITC personnel on the Customer Support Portal.
