Elementary Progress Report Card

Students will receive one Progress Report in November and two Provincial Report Cards, one in February and one in June. 

The progress report for 2017 will be sent home to parents on Wednesday, November 22, 2017.

The purpose of the Elementary Progress Report is to provide information about how a student is progressing at this point in time. 

As learning skills and work habits play a critical role in a student’s success, there is emphasis in this first report on these skills. A student’s development of these skills and habits is also a strong indication of how a student is developing as a self-directed learner. The Learning Skills (with an example) are: 

·                Responsibility - completes and submits class work, homework and assignments according to agreed-                upon timelines

·                Organization - establishes priorities and manages time to complete tasks and achieve goals.

·                Independent Work - follows instructions with minimal supervision. 

·                Collaboration - accepts various roles and an equitable share of work in a group. Initiative - approaches 

            new tasks with  a positive attitude

·                Initiative - Demonstrates the caapcity for innovation and a willingness to take risks.

·                Self-Regulation - perseveres and makes an effort when responding to challenges.

Our teachers are working with students on  these Learning Skills and providing them with opportunities for self-assessment.

The Elementary Progress Report Card will go home on Wednesday November 22, 2017. 

Please sit with your child to review the Learning skills and help your child to make a goal for him/herself for the next term.

Year 2 Kindergarten families will be invited to attend Parent-Teacher Interviews and/or Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences. 

Parent/teacher/student interviews will be held during Nov. 23 (evening) and Nov. 24 PA day, aligned with the elementary Progress Reporting process.

The primary purpose of assessment is to improve learning and to help children become self-regulating, autonomous learners. 

Educators engage in assessment for learning as they observe and document evidence of children’s learning (through the process of “pedagogical documentation”) and provide descriptive feedback to the children that is designed to help them move forward within their zone of proximal development. 

In Kindergarten, evaluation is the summarizing of evidence of a child’s learning in relation to the overall expectations at a given point in time, in order to specify a child’s key learning, growth in learning, and next steps in learning. 

The Kindergarten Communication of Learning: Initial Observations is intended to provide parents with an overview of initial observations of their child’s learning and early evidence of growth in learning in relation to the overall expectations in The Kindergarten Program and with information about appropriate next steps to further the child’s learning

We look forward to seeing our parents at the parent-teacher interviews.

Report Cards

On February 16, 2017 your child’s First Term Report Card will be sent home at the end of the day.

As you read your child’s Term 1 Report Card we hope that you receive a clear indication of your child’s strengths and areas of need.  We also would like you to help your child understand the next steps suggested for their continued growth and progress as we embark on Term 2.  

The development of learning skills and work habits needed to succeed in school and in life begins early in a child’s schooling. As students move through the grades, they develop and then consolidate their learning skills and work habits in preparation for post-secondary education and the world of work.

In many subjects and disciplines in Grades 1 to 12, the development of the learning skills and work habits is further strengthened through the achievement of the curriculum expectations.

Teachers will work with students and their parents/guardians to help them develop the following six learning skills and work habits:

• Responsibility

• Organization

• Independent Work

• Collaboration

• Initiative

• Self-Regulation

Strong learning skills and positive work habits are often an indicator of future success in school, at home, and in life in general.

Learning skills and work habits will look different in individuals as they grow and mature. Teachers will work together with students to develop the criteria used to assess learning skills and work habits. With a growth mindset and perseverance, which is a strong focus here at Johnsview Village P.S., we believe all students can succeed at their goals for improvement. 

  

The purpose of the first term provincial report card is to communicate how well your child has achieved the overall curriculum expectations for each subject at the end of a period of learning (e.g., end of term 1).

Determining a Report Card Grade

Teachers will consider the quality of all evidence for evaluation that has been collected over time using a variety of methods. The teacher will consider:

• all assignments for evaluation and tests/exams that were completed or submitted;

• the number of assignments for evaluation and tests/exams that were not completed or submitted; and

• evidence of achievement that is available for each overall expectation for a subject.

Teachers will use their professional judgement to interpret the evidence and then will assign a letter grade or percentage mark.

The Ministry report cards include a tear-off section where your child is to write their goals for improvement and parents can include their comments as well. 

If you have any questions, you may indicate your request to discuss your child’s report with the teacher on this form or call into the school.  As always, we thank you for your support to ensure that our students are putting forth their best effort to achieve success.
