Here's a reminder...
Reporting information will be coming home in two weeks.
About a month ago, Lynn Hauptman sent a letter home to inform parents that sd5, along with districts across BC, will be using a variety of ways to communicate student learning and progress. This means that some teachers will provide written reports, some will conference, some may use checklists,...
