Assessments and Evaluation
Every student should be provided with many opportunities to achieve in each marking period both formally and informally. Evaluation may include assessments, quizzes, class work, center work, projects, activities, notebooks, portfolios, presentation and any suitable means applied by the teachers.
Report Cards
Report cards are issued three times a year for all students from 1-5. This is every 12 weeks. Progress reports may be sent home or phone calls made to indicate student’s success or weaknesses by mid-marking period. In addition to scheduled conferences, parents are encouraged to contact the classroom teacher through the reception, when necessary. For the final report in June, students must return all textbooks and stories to the classroom teacher before they will be allowed to receive their report.
