EJPS Week at a Glance (Oct 24-28)
EJPS Week at a Glance (Oct 24-28)
Chers parents,
Time is passing by quickly and it’s amazing to realize that we have already had seven weeks of school! Progress Reports will be coming home in about four weeks (Nov 15-17). I have advised teachers that as this date approaches that they should reach out in the upcoming days and weeks to any parents whose child they feel might report as progressing with difficulty on the Progress Report and discuss strategies to help the student achieve their full potential. Progressing with difficulty on the Progress Report means that the overall current assessment data (products, observations, conversations) falls below the provincial standard (the provincial standard is B- to B+) and that according to the teacher’s professional judgment they believe the student could potentially not meet the provincial standard by the end of the first school term (end of January/beginning of February). All children learn at different rates and this is not cause for alarm. Progressing with difficulty on the Progress report does not necessarily mean your child is failing in a specific subject area. The Progress Report provides an opportunity for feedback, goal setting and timely interventions if needed. Your child’s teacher will reach out to you if there is a concern.
Below are some important dates:
- Monday, October 24th – PA Day.
