*Today all students received their term 3 report cards. Parents are reminded to review their child's report card. Students are reminded to not tell their parents that they didn't receive their report card today.
Term 3 provides an assessment of all students’ level of achievement on the school's Social and Civic Expectations. The codes are listed on the front of the report card and the assessment rubric is on the back of the report card. This is information that parents should review to have a better understanding of how their child is performing on these expectations.
