School News Monday March 1

Hi All,

For in-school students, Term 1 Report cards will be sent home on Thursday March 4, 2021.

Here are the changes in Math Reporting for your understanding:

Although the changes from a separate grade for each of the five strands to a single grade are not explained directly on the report card, schools may decide to use the following text to share these changes in school or classroom newsletters:

The Ministry of Education released a new Mathematics Curriculum this year. Your child’s teacher has been utilizing this new document to guide the mathematics lessons taking place in class. One of the changes this new curriculum introduces is a more cohesive approach to assessing mathematics. Previously, students would receive a separate grade on each of the five strands/categories covered in class on their February and June report cards. The new policy introduces a single grade to reflect the overall learning of the student in mathematics.

If you would like to learn more about the new mathematics curriculum, this resource contains more details on the changes to how mathematics is being taught and assessed in your child’s classroom.
