ATTENTION PARENTS ~ ePortfolios

Posted on November 21, 2015 by Ms. Watt | 13 comments

Hello parents,
This year I am part of a small group of Burnaby school district teachers that are creating ePortfolios for their students. These will be private pages, only viewable by myself & your families & will contain various examples of your child’s work, including art, projects on iPads, writing & reading samples & much more.
To start the process, I’m asking for you to verify that I have your correct email address. I will be using it to allow you access to their work & to notify you throughout the year about changes to your child’s ePortfolio.
Please leave your name & email address in the comment section below. It will not be visible to anyone but myself.
Thanks so much & I look forward to sharing your child’s learning journey this year with you & your family!
Mrs. James
