parent feedback

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your responses to the feedback sheet you received at Parent-Teacher Conference day.

I promised you I would publish the answers to the two questions.

To the first question, " Were you able to get a clear picture of your child's progress from reading the report card?" the responses were as follows:

91% of those who responded, answered, "Yes" to this question with a small number adding that having the conference helped them to clarify their understanding and ask questions. A small number also asked for more clarity over the use of the descriptors, "thorough, sound, basic and limited."

5% of those who responded, answered that they, "Would have preferred some sort of grade".

4% of those who answered found the information "Difficult to understand".

1% simply answered, "No".

To the second question, "Do you think it is a good idea to have a conference immediately after you receive the report card?" the responses were:

100% of those who responded, answered, "Yes" with many adding that "Having the conference so close to the report cards allowed them to ask for further explanations and to have questions answered."

The teachers have received your feedback and spent part of their Professional Development day on Friday discussing your feedback and also sharing their own experiences with each other.

We were delighted by the overwhelmingly positive nature of your responses and we thank you for taking time to share your thoughts with us.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind you of our Math Open Morning on Wednesday March 2nd. We look forward to welcoming you into the classrooms on that morning.  Prep, Grade One and Grade Two are from 9:00-9:40 and grades Three, Four and Five are form 9:45- 10:25.

We will also be serving coffee so that you can spend some time socialising with other parents.

Kind Regards,
Teresa Coffey
Deputy Principal
