Changes for next school year

by Clarissa Long - Thursday, 2 February 2012, 02:11 PM

 

Ms. Gerber and I are already making plans for next school year.

One of the changes we have discussed is to collect an electronic portfolio.  This means that parents will not need to send samples of the student work from each subject but will scan and send cetain assignments to us at times during the term.  Those of you who would like to keep your student's work then will not need to part with it at all. 

Another area we are working on is to try to make the bi-weekly log easier and perhaps almost elimate it.  This might be possible, depending on the information we receive from the assignments handed in.

These are just a couple of the things we are working on.  If you have any ideas that you would like to share please direct them (via email) to me.  I would appreciate your input.  This is your school.  Let's work together to make it the best it can be.

Attached is the February Calendar. This month is pretty quiet for things to put on it.

Unscheduled on the calendar are the following:

1) Grades 4 and 7 need to take the FSA exams.  I will be calling individual families to make arrangements for these provincial tests.

2)  Second term portfolios are due to be sent out on March 12.  Thank you for starting to organize for that event now so they can be sent out on time.

Please let your teachers know if we can be of any assistance to you.
