Written Learning Updates Sent Home Today!

Is your child in Kindergarten to Grade 8? If so, today your child will be bringing home their first Written Learning Update (formerly known as report cards) for the 2023-24 school year. 

This first Learning Update primarily focuses on the foundational curricular areas of Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as provides information about your child’s engagement in learning, relationships with others, and social/emotional well-being. As such, you will see these areas addressed in the Teacher Overall Comment at the beginning of the update. 

In this term’s Learning Update, teachers have addressed areas of success and areas for future growth in Language Arts and Mathematics, while also identifying the next steps your child will take on their learning journey (ways to support). As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s update.

What about the other subject/curricular areas? Proficiency levels in each of the additional curricular areas were provided and only in a few cases, specifically commented on. The second Written Learning Update in March will have comments regarding your child’s strengths, areas of growth, and next steps in all curricular areas. 

Also included in your child’s Learning Update is a self-reflection of the Core Competencies they focused on this term. The Core Competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, and social and emotional proficiencies that all students need in order to engage in deep, lifelong learning. Specific goal(s) set earlier this fall with your child were also referred to in the Learning Update, as goal setting is a curricular requirement and also an important life long skill.

Please review the Learning Update with your child and celebrate all your child’s successes to date this year!
