SALTA 5th grade

# Guidelines for using the hashtag on the Report Card • The only standards with a hashtag are those in which learning opportunities are modified for a student. ✓ The standards should align with the student’s IEP • General Education and Special Education teachers must discuss the standards represented with the hashtag . • Student achievement towards standards marked a 3 - On Track at this Time or 3M -Mastered will not have a hashtag . Mastery of a standard is accomplished without curriculum modifications. • Teachers should meet with parents to explain the use of the hashtag to ensure information communicated to the parents. ✓ Explain the modification being made to the standard (i.e. different level of work, modified curriculum, modified standard). ✓ The Special Education Teacher should provide connections to the IEP progress report.
