EQAO Results
This month, parents and guardians will receive their child’s Individual Student Report (ISR). This report contains their child’s results from the Assessments of Reading, Writing and Mathematics, Primary and Junior Divisions, administered in spring 2019. These results did not impact students’ report cards last year.
EQAO results offer an independent snapshot that shows whether students are meeting literacy and math expectations from The Ontario Curriculum. In receiving the ISR, there is an opportunity for parents and guardians to have discussions about their child’s achievement within their family or with a teacher (e.g., parent/guardian-teacher interview).
EQAO data should be considered alongside other information—such as in-class assessment results, report-card grades and teacher observations—so parents and guardians can build a fuller understanding of their child’s learning.
Parents and guardians can learn more about assessment results through EQAO’s website (www.eqao.com)
Traffic Plan Update
The final stages of our traffic plan are now under way. This includes further signage, pavement markings and pavement and curb work on Lancaster Drive. We have been pleased to see our students and our families making effective use of the new pedestrian crossing and traffic pathways in the new design. Signage and continued diligence will help to re-inforce the safety of our students. If you observe areas of concern please don't hesitate to share these with school staff so that we can be responsive if further communication, education or monitoring is required.
Sincerely,
Lancaster Drive Public School
