Sharing Work with Teachers:
The teachers are able to track progress through the websites which they will give you for Reading and Mathematics. Students will be required to email their teachers with the work they do in other areas.
Individual teachers will discuss these options with parents.
I hope that this is an easy way to keep track of what is expected for learning at home. This might develop as we move forward over time.
