We are currently preparing for our Student Involved Conferences for this year. As in the past, your child will present samples of their work and talk about their strengths and areas for improvement during the conference. There will also be an opportunity for your child’s teacher to comment and answer any questions you may have.
This year the Ministry of Education is replacing the first term report card with a fall Elementary Progress Report. The Elementary Progress Report will facilitate better communication among parents, teachers and students by assessing students early in the school year in a new format. It will assess key learning skills and work habits and instead of assigning a grade or mark, it will indicate how a student is progressing. The indicators for progress in learning skills and work habits are excellent, good, satisfactory, or needs improvement. Subject areas will be reported on using the indicators progressing very well, progressing well and progressing with difficulty.
It is essential in making the Student Involved conference more meaningful and relevant. The Elementary Progress Report goes home with students on November 12th.
Parents of Junior Kindergarten students can look forward to discussing their child’s progress at our November conferences and receiving their child’s first report card in February.
Please look for the Student Involved Conferences 2010 form coming home soon. We ask you to read it, complete it and return it to school. Thank you very much and have a great weekend.
