STUDENTS' INCREDIBLE ARTWORK

ACCESSING YOUR CHILD'S PROGRESS REPORT ON DECEMBER 23

Teachers are celebrating students’ growth as they complete fall Elementary School Progress Reports (EPRs).  EPRs will be released to parents on Saturday,  December 23rd, through Parent Portal.  You will be able to access your child's EPR on December 23 by following the directions below.


·  Go to the Gold Rush Website gre.dcsdk12.org

·  Select the Parent Resources Tab

·  Select Elementary Progress Report (EPR).  Use your Parent Portal credentials to log in.

·  Then click "view Elementary Progress report" under your child's picture

As you recall, students are assessed on the following elements of the District's guaranteed and viable curriculum.

·   Content Standards (reading, writing, math, science and social studies, specials)

·   4 Cs (communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity)

·   Select 21st Century Skills (problem-solving, resiliency, systems thinking, financial literacy, health)

You are able to view the report card in two ways - a highlight view and a comprehensive view. Grades for specials, social studies and science can be found in the comprehensive view.
