Kindergarten Reporting – Growing Success: The Kindergarten Addendum
16 January 2017
Dear Parents/Guardians,
In the spring of 2016, the Ministry of Education introduced a new assessment, evaluation and reporting document Growing Success: The Kindergarten Addendum to replace the former report card and which aligns with The Kindergarten Program, 2016. As part of the implementation process, teacher and Early Childhood Educator teams have been receiving background, training and supports and will be using the new report card Communication of Learning for Year 2 students this February, 2017.
Kindergarten educator teams will continue to provide ongoing and reciprocal communication with parents and guardians of students in Year 1 regarding their child’s progress. A Communication of Learning report card will be issued in June, 2017 as has been our past practice. Both Year 1 and Year 2 students will receive the new Communication of Learning report card in June, 2017.
Beginning in 2017-2018, all Year 1 and Year 2 students will receive a Communication of Learning: Initial Observation (new) in the fall and Communication of Learning report card in February and June. This will complete the full implementation of the new assessment, evaluation, and reporting process for Kindergarten going forward.
