Mid-Year Student Reports
As communicated in recent Newsletters, Mid-Year Reports will be provided to parents at the parent-teacher meetings that are scheduled for today, Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th July. Bookings for these meetings closed last Friday at 3.30pm to allow considerable timetabling to be confirmed – parents who did not book a time are welcome to arrange a time via their child’s diary to meet with their child’s teacher early next term. One print copy of this Mid-Year Report is issued to parents – please contact the school office if you require an additional copy. Reports will be sent home with children on Wednesday for those families who did not attend a parent-teacher meeting. Copies of reports will also become available via Compass on Thursday. In addition to providing parents with several items of student work via our Online Feedback and Reporting platform that uses Seesaw as the medium, teachers will provide any additional samples of student work and insights into student application and attitude to provide clarity and elaboration for the mid-year report.
As per our Compass communication to the families of classes whose teacher has unexpectantly become sick and therefore unavailable this week, please note in your child’s diary a couple of times and days early next term (from Monday 25th July) to meet with your child’s teacher should your child’s teacher be absent this week for scheduled meetings. The school will notify families if meetings that are scheduled for today or tomorrow need to be cancelled due to staff absences.
Some details regarding reports include:
- Students in Years 3 to 6 will receive an A to E rating. The overall rating will be determined after reviewing a body of student work.
- Students on Prep to Year 2 will receive Outstanding; High; Sound; Partial; Minimal Achievement ratings.
- Application and Attitude to Learning relates to student self-regulation, level of cooperation and willingness to learn and to support the learning opportunities of others.
- Kinder students do not receive a formal report; Kinder staff compile quality journals that outline student engagement and progress throughout the year. They are used for several purposes, one of which is to provide a base for discussions with parents. A guiding document ‘Reporting in Kindergarten’ is available via our school website and will be included in mail to kinder families this week
