Progress Reports

Hello

Today the Interm Progress Reports are coming home with the students. Each student will also get a interview request form which allows parents to request a interview, phone call, an email, or check that no conference is required at this time. The school board no longer designates a specific day for interviews so they have to be coordinated by the individual teachers for after school.

A number of students will get a request for an interview from Ms. Fenlong and myself as we would like to touch base regarding the progress of the student and determine what can be done to improve his/her performance. For these families we have selected either next Wed or Thurs afternoon and set aside a specific 15 minute block to meet. If the time given doesn't work for you please let us know so we can try to reschedule.

If you want to have an interview and one has not already been assigned to you please check the request interview box and we will get back to you with a date and a time early next week once all the forms have been returned.

The progress report does not contain grades only whether the student is progressing well, very well, or with difficulty. With difficulty doesn' t mean that the student is failing the course but rather they are having difficulty reaching the provincial standards. Students with a PWD still have time to raise their  grades prior to the Term 1 report card that contains marks for each subject area.
If you or your child has any questions regarding the progress report feel free to email me or request an interview.

Please sign and help the student fill in the bottom of the report. All signature parts of the reports should be returned by Monday. We will be doing a reflective exercise with the students and be setting some goals for the remainder of the term. These goals will be assessed and updated at the end of first term.

Thanks
Mr. Brooks
