Report Cards

Today report cards were sent home with students. This afternoon we had a discussion with students about how proud we are of all of the hard work that we have seen in our classrooms. Many students believe that 1s and 2s mean they are bad students or have done something wrong. We are working with students to remind them that marks do not mean they are good or bad students; marks show us where we need to continue to learn and grow. 

Please celebrate with your child, regardless of what mark they received. As teachers we are just as proud of our students who received some 1s as we are of the students who received some 4s and we hope that you look for your child's strengths as you read through the report card. Please also discuss what your child can continue to work on and what goals they could set for the rest of the year. 

Below are the indicator words that are used to help you understand the marks your child has received. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
