Each Grade Level Benchmark (GLB) is assessed by teachers and reported out on the report card. In addition, the Components describe the specific content and/or skills your child will be learning during that unit of instruction. The teacher will provide your child with instruction and learning experiences to maximize their learning potential. Our goal is to make your child successful in all content areas of the Oskaloosa curriculum. Our expectations are high and your child s teacher will communicate to you what the academic expectations are for homework/student work and their policy on turning in work N. 3 rd St. Oskaloosa, IA * 673 *
