EJPS Week at a Glance (Feb 12-16)
EJPS Week at a Glance (Feb 12-16)
Chers parents,
Next week will be the start of term 2 and the time to set goals with our young learners based on the feedback found in their term 1 Report Card, which will be available online on Feb 15th by 4PM. Reminders, instructions, and support links to access and understand the report card will come out next week in a separate email and hard copy letter. Please know that great time, care, and consideration is taken when providing an evaluation of your child’s learning. We appreciate your trust in us! Be sure to celebrate their strengths and support them to reflect on next steps towards improvement. Prioritize what skills or subjects may require more effort or support. Remember, reading is key to all learning! Also keep in mind, writing in French is a very challenging skill set and takes time for most students to develop proficiently. It’s normal to see French writing as an area of challenge. Good self-confidence and a growth mindset are also essential to an enjoyable and successful time at school. The learning skills section of the report card will give you good insight into your child’s confidence and openness to feedback. Lastly, remember that every learner is unique and learning spurts and learning dips happen at different stages for different children. It’s important to be patient as well as supportive. As the adults in their lives it’s imperative that we continue to work together towards supporting our learners to become independent and self-actualizing through a gradual release of responsibility and prepare the child for the path as opposed to preparing the path for the child. If you have any questions about your child’s report card do not hesitate to contact their teacher.
