Information for K-Y6 Parents about Progress Reports & End of Semester Reports
End-of-Unit Progress Reports
As mentioned last term in the newsletter, we have introduced a ‘Progress Report’ for all subjects, so our families will receive a timelier update on their child’s progress and development. There will be one of these progress reports for many units taught throughout the year.
Over the next few days, our K-Y6 students will bring home an envelope with progress reports for their specialist subjects.
These ‘Progress Reports’ will have a description of the unit completed, along with the central idea and the lines of inquiry that have shaped the unit’s development.
In Kindergarten, the report will give an indication of the level of the students’ knowledge, skills and work habits specifically taught within the relevant unit and whether the student needed guidance to complete tasks or displayed mastery independently.
For students in Years 1-6, the report will give an indication of the level of the students’ knowledge, skills and work habits specifically taught within the unit and whether the student required guidance or support to consistently and independently meet unit expectations or if they displayed mastery beyond their year level.
End-of-Semester Reports
A reminder that there will still be a report at the end of each semester, but these will be adapted and simplified to reflect that some information has already been shared with parents through the unit progress reports.
The Kindergarten end-of-semester report will give a global picture of your child’s progress over the semester and include indications of how frequently his work habits are being displayed independently. Our Years 1-6 end-of-semester report will give a global picture of your child’s progress in all subjects over the semester. The reports will indicate at what level he is showing secure mastery of the relevant outcomes, concepts, content and skills taught. An indication of how frequently he independently applies the pertinent year level work habits will also be included.
