Our K-9 programs follow the British Columbia curriculum. The new curriculum allows for flexibility as one works through the Big Ideas and the Curriculum Competencies. Our programs encourage teachers and parents to work together to create learning that is personal, engaging and robust.
According to the K-12 Student Reporting Policy Framework, there are a minimum of 5 communication events required: 2 written Learning Updates, 2 flexible format Learning Updates, and 1 written Summary of Learning. Teachers can provide additional communications about student progress as needed in support of continuous learning, such as informal portfolio posts, student samples with descriptive feedback, telephone calls, e-mail, class blogs/newsletters, meetings.
