Schoolbridge - Transition Programme for New Entrants

  

Reporting to Parents

To help parents support their children during this first year of school we provide…

New Entrant assessment followed by first parent / teacher conversation.

Parents will receive a notice inviting them to come in for a conversation.  This is a great time to ask questions and catch up on how your child is settling in. This will occur after around 4 - 6 weeks at school.

Six Month conversation

Some children may benefit from having a six month conversation about progress.  We will contact you regarding this if necessary.

Learning records with progress updated regularly and sent home once a term.

Portfolios have three sections.  Literacy and Numeracy progress samples, topic work assessment samples and Key competencies learning stories.  These give a clear picture of what your child can do.  They are an official document and accompany the report at the end of the year.
