You can support your child’s learning (School Act, Section 16.2) by:

working in partnership with school staff;
providing a quiet place for your child to study at home;
keeping current with your child’s progress online through the Power School Portal.
staying informed and keeping in touch with school staff. This includes reading newsletters and other school materials; and
participating in parent-teacher conferences.

Teachers will help your child succeed (School Act, Section 18) by:

providing programming that is suitable for your child;
providing many opportunities and different ways for students to show what they know;
giving students who’ve missed important assessments and activities the chance to complete the work, as specified in the course outline;
providing a course outline for all courses that clearly explains what’s expected of students and how student work will be graded/marked;
keeping detailed, accurate notes describing your child’s successes and challenges;
communicating with you regularly about your child’s progress and achievement; and providing opportunities for you to be involved in your child’s learning.

Students have a responsibility for their own learning (School Act, Section 12) and are expected to:

come to school every day and on time;
finish their assignments, projects and tasks to the best of their ability;
participate in activities to celebrate learning;
demonstrate that they are learning; and
take advantage of chances offered to revise or redo assignments or tests so they can show growth in their knowledge and skills.
