La classe de Mme Berg

Hi parents,

Throughout the year your child will be bringing home various tests and assessments for you to look at and sign. This is one of the ways that you will be able to see how your child is progressing and it will give you the opportunity to provide/seek extra support for your child should they be struggling to understand a concept.

After you have signed the test/assessment, your child will bring it back to school to show me the signature. The signature is letting me know that you have seen the test/assessment and are aware of your child’s understanding of the concept.

Each test/assignment will either have a rubric attached or it will have a number written at the top that represents one of the following comments:

4  EXTENDING: excellent understanding of the concept, able to extend thinking

3  ACHIEVING: good understanding of the concept

2  DEVELOPING: partial understanding of the concept

1  EMERGING: does not yet understand the concept

Students will be getting their photo taken tomorrow (Thursday).

For best pictures, the photographer recommends that the children:

• avoid wearing green (solid or print)
• avoid wearing solid white

Next week there will be Student Intake Meetings at Capitol Hill. This will be a great opportunity for us to meet each other and for you to provide me with any information that you think might help me to get to know your child better.

Meetings are in 15-minute time slots and are during the following times:

Tuesday, September 18, 2:00pm – 3:00pm

Thursday, September 20 3:00pm – 6:00pm

You will be able to sign up for a meeting time by going to: https://capitolhill.schoolappointments.com and logging in using the username and password that you created last year. Registration will open Friday, September 14 at noon.

We will be bringing bikes to school in the near future. Please check that everything is in working order. Click HERE to see the check list that was sent home in June.
