Reporting

Three
Formal reports are issued each year. Due to the diversity of school schedules,
each elementary school will establish its own schedule for issuing formal
reports. Two informal reports are required each year. The following guidelines
should be applied:
-
1st informal report- parent teacher interview days may be considered an
informal report
-
2nd informal report- may be issued in February. Early dismissal is appropriate
when students, parents and teachers are involved in Student Led Conferences
or traditional parent-teacher conferences
-
Schools must establish a form of record keeping.
Relevant
Ministry policies are contained in Policy Circular 97-04 'Student Reporting'
Kindergarten
Classes
may be closed for two full days in the Spring for interviews. As in the
past, this is not prescriptive. Some schools may not wish to use the days
in the Spring.
