Q:
What does promoted to first grade mean?
On my sons Kindergarten progress report it had three check spaces. 1, Retained in Kindergarten, 2, Placed in first grade, 3, Promoted to first grade. - Whats the difference? - He was only at this school for 2 months, and never asked about his progress at his old school.

At the elementary level, the term promotion is often used to indicate a student has successfully completed the current year and is being moved forward to the next grade level. The term placed in first grade may be related to a child who has been recommended for retention in kindergarten, but the parent(s) want that child to move onto first grade. In that case the child would be 'placed' in first grade versus 'promoted'.

"placed" means that the child hasn't "graduated" K but is being bumped up anyway. "Promoted" means he "graduated."
