REPORT OF STUDENT ACHEIVEMENT

Achievement is formally reported to parents at the end of each term using the Ontario Provincial Report Card. Teachers will evaluate students’ achievement on a continual basis and these evaluations will be communicated on the Ontario Provincial Report Card. Methods of evaluating students’ achievement are: observation, daily work, tests, projects, portfolios, informal and formal assessments, as well as peer and self-evaluation.

COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS

It is necessary to maintain ongoing communication between home and school. If there is any concern, contact the school to discuss your concern.

The school endeavours to inform parents of important dates, events and to clarify school procedures by sending home newsletters, reminders, and information letters throughout the school year.

HOMEWORK

At times homework may be assigned for your child but the most useful type of homework is the shared experiences that children have with their own families. Activities such as reading, outings, hobbies, games and family discussions provide children with the background necessary to facilitate learning in the classroom. Homework also provides parents with an informal report of their child’s progress. Homework facilitates basic communication between home and school. Formal homework on a daily basis is age appropriate as follows:

Primary Grades
