Written Reports
Written reports will be coming home for most children today.
Following this teachers will be available for whānau to come and discuss any aspects of the report that may need clarification.
The date for this meeting is Wednesday 12th December from 3:00-4:30pm. If this time is not convenient please contact your child’s teacher to make an alternative time. We have tried to make the report simple but in doing so have included all necessary and appropriate information without using too much teacher jargon we hope.
The report should show/explain where your child is in terms of the National Standards in Reading, Writing and Maths. We also hope that our checking of spelling, grammar etc is efficient. If not we apologise in advance and ask that you contact us re any amendments that may need to be made.
