Homework Tracking Homework Tracking SystemsSystems
Students will have the ability to select a system that works best for them
This can be traditional (agenda) or electronic
Students must select a system, and both the student and parents will sign off on the selection
Reliance on the website won’t build the learning skills that are important for their futures in school and beyond
Self tracking helps to build personal responsibility, time management and organizational skills
Homework Tracking Homework Tracking SystemsSystems
Choices are:
- A traditional agenda
- Calendar built into an electronic device (cell phone; ipod; iPad ect)

Assessments Assessments
In order to keep parents aware of the child’s progress and achievement we require students to get all assessments signed my a parent/guardian
Students each have a folder in Ms. Dee’s and Ms. Morlog’s room.
Folders will be sent home with assessed work and must be returned with a signature and a spot for comments/questions
This will help to avoid any surprises at reporting time!
Assessment & Assessment & Growth Mindset Growth Mindset
Over the past year, students and staff across LDSB have been focusing on the concept of Growth Mindset
We are teaching and learning about the brain, and the research behind why mindset has a lot to do with a person's success and achievement.
Assessment & Assessment & Growth Mindset Growth Mindset
Assessment & Assessment & Growth Mindset Growth Mindset
In particular, we want students see feedback (on assessments) as learning not simply comments that are attached “to a mark”
Growth Mindset Video
So you and your child might not always see a “final mark” but you will always see: Established learning goals Success Criteria Rubrics Lots of written and
oral feedback!
Technology In The Technology In The ClassroomClassroom
OPS and the intermediate division has adopted “Bring It” – Bring Your Own Device (lap top, iPod, iPhone, iPad, tablet ect.)
This is not a requirement, and students will have access to program computers, netbooks, and our growing bank of iPads
We may ask for FREE EDUCATIONAL APPS to be downloaded that will be used during instruction QR Code Scanner Socrative Student

We tweet curriculum activities, homework reminders, organizational tips (ex. instrument, gym clothes, return forms)
We also tweet from trips so that parents/guardians can see what we are doing in close to “real time”!
It also helps to communicate our ETA!
