LEARNING UPDATES AND STUDENT EVALUATION

Teachers use a wide variety of assessment methods to measure student learning and evaluate progress towards learning standards.  Students are encouraged to use this agenda booklet to record and keep track of their achievement in each of their courses.  LEARNING UPDATES (REPORT CARDS) are published by our school three times during the year.  INFORMAL LEARNING UPDATES (INTERIMS) are sent home in October and February, and teachers may also contact parents by email or a phone call at any time during the school year. 

Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled twice during the school year immediately after the first Learning update goes home in December and again in early April. Parents can always phone the school or email teachers to discuss student progress at any time or connect with teachers as their email addresses are on our website (School Information >>> Staff Lists & Emails).
