Halloween Challenge
We are gathering extra Halloween candy for the non-profit group "Beyond the Streets". We want to pay it forward to those who are less fortunate than us. Bring your extra Halloween candy to the office at recess or lunch to be counted. You have until lunch recess on Monday (Nov. 6) to redeem your goodies for jetons.
For every 5 mini-candies or one large candy you will receive one "jeton" for your house and one "laver les pieds" coupon.
Evidence of Learning Coming Home - October 30 to November 2
These portfolios are meant to spark conversation about your child's learning, and be a snapshot of some of the learning your child is experiencing at ÉPK. In the Evidence of Learning portfolios you will find an element of the following:
- Faith learning
- Literacy learning (Kindergarten and Grade 1 will be French, Grades 2-4 will be both French and English)
- Numeracy learning
- A Multi-step project to illustrate the scaffolding that occurs in projects and may include brainstorming, idea organization, rough copies, edit processes, to good copies. If a project is still in progress, the completed steps will be illustrated.
- Growth Over Time which illustrates learning from the start of the year, and at the each stage of portfolios, comparisons can be made to demonstrate and celebrate growth
- A wow, which is a piece chosen by the child. This is often something they are very proud of, or something they worked hard at.

Three-Way Conferences coming soon
Three-Way Conferences, which include face-to-face conversations between your child, the teacher and parent(s), centered on learning, are vital checkpoints in assessment and learning success. Conversations guided by evidence of learning and a celebration of progress as well as goal setting for future growth are fundamental for continued growth and success.
