Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to introduce a new way for you to stay connected with your child’s learning journey! Our class is now using digital learning portfolios, which you can access through Microsoft Teams. This tool allows you to view your child’s work, track their progress, and celebrate their achievements all in one place. You can access this portfolio by having your child log in and take you through their digital folders.
What is a Digital Learning Portfolio?
A digital learning portfolio is a collection of your child’s assignments, projects, and reflections that show their growth over time. It offers a window into their learning, including what they are proud of and areas where they are working to improve.
How Does It Work?
Your child will upload their work to Microsoft Teams. You’ll see completed assignments, teacher feedback, and even multimedia projects like videos or presentations. This platform keeps everything organized and easily accessible from any device.
To Log In:
Have your child access Microsoft 365 through the Lochdale Homepage. Then have them access our MS Teams page. Their portfolio is located under the “Class Notebook” section.

Benefits of Viewing Your Child’s Work
- Stay Engaged: You’ll have regular insight into what your child is learning in class.
- Track Progress: Watch as they develop skills and grow in confidence throughout the year.
- Encourage Conversations: Use the portfolio to start discussions at home about what they are working on, what they enjoy, and how you can support their learning.
- Celebrate Achievements: Celebrate your child’s accomplishments and encourage them when they are facing challenges.
We believe that involving families in this way enhances the learning experience and strengthens the home-school connection. If you have any questions about how to access the portfolio or navigate Microsoft Teams, please feel free to reach out. We’re happy to help!
Thank you for your continued support!
