Parent Schedule
Parents, both new and returning, are invited to join our year level teaching teams as they introduce themselves and share their preparations for the coming academic year.
When: Wednesday, 9th August 2023
Time and Venue:
During the first few weeks of this school year, your child will complete an online iReady diagnostic evaluation for Reading and Mathematics.
These assessments are not used for report grades but instead to help teachers better identify areas of strengths and weaknesses of their students. This data allows them to tailor instruction, materials, activities and groupings to provide each student with opportunities to improve, develop or extend their knowledge. The iReady is one of many tools used to understand each student’s performance abilities and does not, on its own, determine placement or progress. The information gathered from these diagnostic tests will be tracked throughout the year with repeat testing at the end of semesters 1 and 2. This will enable us to view every student's growth and development whilst taking any action to assist those who may be struggling. These diagnostic tests are used globally by many international and host nation schools and will be able to give teachers an understanding of where your child stands in regards to the ability for their age level.
Individual teachers will be in contact in regards to how the diagnostic is taken, but I do ask that you support us in ensuring that your child attempts and conducts themselves in their best possible manner. The more accurate the result, the better we can plan personalised learning for your child. If you have further questions or would like more information, please discuss with your child’s Maths and/or English teachers or programme coordinators. Alternatively, if they are not able to assist you, please do not hesitate to email me @ lavesa@globaljaya.com
