Principal's Report
Changes to Drop off Times Commencing Next Wednesday
With restrictions easing, many parents returning to work and students settled back into the daily routine, we will be gong back to normal start times in the mornings, commencing from next Wednesday.
8.45am - 9.00am - Teacher on yard duty
9.00am - Classes start
A late pass will be required after 9.15am.
As part of our Safety Plan, any parents who are on the school grounds for longer than 15 minutes must sign in via the visitors book. Parents are still not able to enter classrooms.
All parents/carers to continue to wear masks and maintain social distancing.
For the next few weeks the end of day times will remain the same.
It is important we maintain our ACPS Covid Safe bubble so I ask you to continue with saying goodbye to your child/ren at any of the three entry points and leaving promptly at pick up times.
At this stage, we can now welcome back external health professionals working with individual students. This includes Speech Therapists and Occupational Therapists. Please contact your class teacher to organise these visits again.
Unfortunately we can't welcome back Wonnies or our lunchtime extra curricula sporting providers just yet.
Changes to Semester 2 Student Reports
I am writing to you to provide an update on changes to Semester 2 student reports at Anderson’s Creek Primary School.
At ACPS we know it is vital to involve students and their parents/carers in learning. This includes providing a written report to parents/carers on student progress and achievement at least twice a year.
The Department of Education and Training has recently adjusted the expectations around student reporting for Semester 2 in recognition of the continued disruption caused by COVID-19.
While ACPS has continued to deliver a teaching and learning program and monitor the learning of each student, we have adjusted our usual program to reflect the recent period(s) of remote and flexible delivery.
We will therefore provide a simplified written report for the parent/carer of each student enrolled at the school for Semester 2, 2020 focusing on what progress has been made and what has been achieved by each child.
Reports will include:
· a description of the areas of the Victorian Curriculum taught;
· a comment on student participation and engagement in the learning program offered;
· for English and Mathematics:
- student achievement information;
- progress shown from the last time these curriculum areas were reported on;
a five-point scale;
· for Social Capabilities:
- a short comment on progress and achievement across the Semester
Due to the circumstances from remote learning, the Student Learning Diary will be modified significantly and referred to as the students’ Pride Portfolio.
- The Pride Portfolio will be a collection of work produced by students in Term 4 only. Students will self-select the pieces that they would like to showcase to you. This will be presented on the digital learning platforms.
Thank you for your continued support now we are all back to and onsite learning.
