Dear Parents/ Carers,
On, Friday December 10 you will receive your child’s report for Semester 2. The report is a modified format due to the changed learning environments children worked in over this semester. The reports follow the same format we used in Semester 1 last year, which provide comments in English, Mathematics and other Key Learning Areas but no grades.
Teachers have been using the time since returning on site to assess students and intensively support learning. Years 3-6 have completed the Department of Education Check in assessment over the last few weeks.The check in a assessments provide a snapshot of student learning in literacy and numeracy and provides us with a comparison to students in the same grade across the state. They do not provide individual student reports but gives us important data to inform learning programs.
Our K-2 grades have also completed phonics assessment, reading levels and mathematics assessment. The assessments have given us data to plan intensive supports for learning.
The results of assessment have shown that overall children are learning well and staff are pleased with their progress. Given the very challenging year we have had it is great to see how children's learning has been maintained. We thank parents for the huge part you have all played this year in supporting continuity of learning for your children..
With changes to the pick up and drop off arrangements around the school it is important that parents remind children of some important safe travel tips. Remember to:
• Walk straight to school and come into the gates
• Younger children should be accompanied by an adult, who should ensure they enter the gates.
• Arrive at school between 8.25 am and 8.55am.
• Walk directly to and from school if travelling alone. Identify a safe route and walk when others are walking.
• If you have a problem tell a trusted adult about it.
• If late enter at Pendle Way gate.
We have changed the Presentation day date to accommodate other commitments which have arose. New date is Tuesday 7.12.21. parents of children receiving an award will receive an invite to the online presentation. We aplogise for any inconvenience.
regards,
Gabrielle Buczynski
