Principal's Message
Dear Families,
Here is an update regarding grading and feedback. Classroom teachers at the Elementary School will not be using a credit/no credit system. Teachers will focus on providing qualitative feedback to students on all assigned work (i.e., you put a lot of effort into this, I like the detail you added here, good problem solving on this equation, you can try to do it this way next time, next time think about…). Teachers will monitor student participation and completion of assignments, in order to support students. If the teacher has concerns about a student’s participation, they will contact the administration/counselor to follow-up with individual families. At the end of Term 3, teachers will write comments only on student report cards and will not report out on students performance against the standards.
Specialist teachers will not be grading or providing feedback on the report card, they will continue to provide week-to-week activities for students during remote learning. Specialists will monitor participation and skill development when/if possible.
