Reporting.

Reporting to Parents on Student Progress

The aim of reporting student progress to parents is to

  • provide regular opportunity for building strong learning relationships,

  • celebrate learning progress and achievement.

  • ensure a shared understanding of learning needs by learners, teachers and parents alike.

We report to parents/ whānau about their child’s:

  • Learning Capabilities

  • Learning needs

  • Social Skills

  • Academic progress

Reporting is honest, positive and based on triangulated teacher observations and data gathering, with a focus on literacy, numeracy and children’s learning capabilities. 

Parents can expect to receive formal and informal feedback with regards to student’s progress and achievement as follows.

Informal Reporting.

Thursday Connect meetings

These are meetings generated by parent or teacher requests and are ongoing throughout the year every week as the need arises.

Seesaw

This is an online sharing platform, used to post highlights of current learning, and to access and work on learning activities. Seesaw creates another learning loop between students, teachers, and families as part of their learning journey. Parents and caregivers can log in to see and discuss with their children the learning that sits within this platform.

Google classroom

This is a platform that also supports learning and progress. Activities are posted which students are able to access before, during and after school hours. It fosters communication through feedback and collaboration and through joint activity work. It is another part of the learning loop between students, teachers and families. Predominantly used in Year 5/6 .

Learning Interventions

Interventions are provided for children who have been identified as priority learners in literacy and numeracy based on data gathered from assessments and teacher judgements. Parents are informed of their children's inclusion in any learning intervention and are informed of their progress through a Thursday after school meeting or an email sent to them by the class teachers.

IEPs:

For all ORS funded learners we hold IEP meetings 2x per year, April/May and October/November. These review and planning meetings involve the school teaching team- LA, Specialist teacher, Class teachers, Whānau and outside agencies such as MOE.
