ELA-03.R.02

The Bismarck Public School District Standards-Based Progress Report displays grades at the Strand level. Therefore Bismarck Public School District has modified the North Dakota DPI Identifiers to fit into our student information system PowerSchool for Standards-Based grading. Above is a BPS-Standards ELA identifier with smaller muted text showing the addition  to the identifier that are the components that BPS adds to the State code.
