End of year reporting on student achievement

Kia ora koutou

This BLOG post is to let you know how we will be reporting to you on student achievement for the rest of the year.

1. Student achievement data in reading, writing and maths is currently being collected
2. The matrices in reading, writing and maths will be updated based on evidence from testing as well as from the work done by students over the term.
3. Students' personal learning treaties will be updated
4. Student/teacher/parent conferences will take place Friday 2 November - Tuesday 6th November (see later for further details). These conferences will involve:
                *Students sharing their learning with parents
                *Looking at student progress on the matrices and in relation to the PLT
                *Setting new goals on the PLT which will take the student into the new year
5. At the end of the school year, a written report which includes overall teacher judgements in relation to National Standards with comments by teachers will be provided
6. A report on school-wide achievement will be provided early in 2013 and will include the school's next steps for development

Student/Teacher/Parent Conferences
The following days have been set aside for these:

Friday 2 November - 9am - 3pm
Monday 5 November - 9am - 7pm
Tuesday 6 November - 9am - 7pm

Instructions on how to book interviews will emailed shortly.
*Please note 5th November is the Northern Zone Athletics Day. Year 4 - 6 students who may be selected should book their interviews for one of the other days or after school.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please note, we are still working on the development of an online reporting tool that will contain aspects of the current reporting process but will make receiving information about your child's learning much simpler and less daunting. We will also be seeking your views as we develop this tool.

Kind regards
