Kindergarten Open House - Sept 2024 Learners

We are very excited to welcome our next wonderful group of learners and future peace makers to Eric Harvie School!

We will be having a Kindergarten Open House for families to come in and see our school and hear about how we work to build confident, capable and peaceful learners! 

The event will occur on Thursday, February 22 from 5:30 - 6:30 pm. Full information is available on the attached invitation.

Sharing Learning Information with EHS Families

Our current School Development Plan (SDP) is focused on gathering high quality assessment data from learners in order to then best plan instruction to help meet each learners needs. As part of the SDP, we are endeavouring to provide more examples of learning back to families. At some point over the next three weeks, each class will send home a folder with a sample of current learning to share with families. This is meant as a way for you to see your child’s progress and for you to have a conversation with your child to hear their voice about their learning.

You will see a coloured folder with your child’s name on it, an artifact of their learning, and some other information about their learning that will vary based on the task and their grade level. It will include some information about how the work met the criteria for the assessment and some kind of reflection from the learner. 

Obviously, this process looks quite different for a Kindergarten child than for a grade 4 child, and each child has their own strengths and areas for growth. Our intention is that we can strengthen the ongoing conversation with families about your child’s learning to help meet each child’s needs more effectively.

We will be gathering feedback and advice from families about this plan in the spring to help ensure it is a helpful process in enhancing your child’s progress.
