Evaluation and Reporting of Student Achievement

Landing Trail School uses an online grading and reporting system called PowerSchool. Parents/guardians have login access so their children can monitor and check on their academic progress. Marks are updated frequently and include a variety of assessment information. Please contact your child's teacher if you have questions about assignments or our school for login assistance or if you require a printed copy.

Awards are given annually to students in Kindergarten to Grade 4. The recipients are selected based on the child's individual development and contribution to the welfare and progress in their homeroom and school.
