Report Card Samples
5) How often do you report on Literacy with ICT during the school year? Once per year in March.

6) Which grades are reporting on Literacy with ICT? K-9

7) When does the reporting occur? March

8) What feedback have you received from parents regarding reporting of Literacy with ICT? Minimal - positive

9) In certain circumstances, a child may have more than one teacher. How would/do your teachers report on a child's literacy with ICT in this circumstance? Please discuss with your divisional team and record some possible strategies to address this issue. This is less a problem in elementary classess. In middle years, teachers have grade group meeting to discuss comments. Use of central electronic reporting, teachers have access to all students/classes taught. In middle years, the homeroom teacher is expected to report student comments.

10) If there have been changes to your divisional statement of belief on reporting on LwICT, since last year, upload or insert the text below. No change
