SFUSD Updates Standards Based Report Cards for Grades TK-5 Link to this section

In 2025-26, the TK-5 Standards Based Report Cards (SBRC’s) include the following updates:

  • Refined Language Arts standards for Cantonese/Mandarin Pathways
  • Streamlined Science, PE, Arts and ELD standards (all other content areas updated in 2024-25)
  • Added Health standards statements

SBRCs are designed to streamline scoring for teachers, and improve communication of students’ progress toward end-of-year grade level standards to families.

Any updates to SBRC's are based on feedback from staff and families, and informed by research from other districts. 

  • Families request report cards with simpler language and improved readability.
  • Educators request streamlined scoring rubrics and resources, and academic content area items aligned with current instructional shifts.
