School Message

Updates to the Ministry of Education and Child Care reporting policy require at least 5 updates regarding your
student’s learning throughout the school year. You will receive 4 written Learning Updates (Report Cards) and at
least 2 informal learning updates which could be a conference, email or call from a teacher. For students in
grades K-9, the Provincial Proficiency Scale and descriptive feedback will now be used to explain where a student
is at in their learning and how they can improve. Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 will continue to receive letter
grades and percentages to ensure successful transition to post-secondary. They will now also receive descriptive
feedback on their written Learning Updates to clearly explain where they are at in their learning and how they can
move forward. They will also receive a graduation status update on the last Learning Update of every school year
in grades 10, 11, and 12. Students in all grades will self-reflect on the Core Competencies and set goals for
themselves. This student-centered reporting practice gives every student input into their learning and helps them
keep growing throughout their lives. The graduation status update and student self-reflection and goal setting
can be found in the Parent Connect and Student Connect portal. For more information, please see our school
website under Parent Info/Assessment and Reporting Information.

Term 1 Comments: Madi continues to develop her writing in this course. She is successfully working at her own
pace with Miss Funk providing feedback along the way. Madi has shown creativity through interesting characters
in a variety of genres. When she gets to the editing stage of her writing, I would like to see her enhance the
impact of her writing by experimenting with literary elements and devices. Keep up the good work, Madi!

Term 2 Comments: Madi successfully completed an adapted English program where she focused on the core
assignments. This allowed her to work at her own pace while still interacting with and collaborating with others in
the class. She seems to thrive in class or small group discussion where she can share her ideas with others. I was
very proud of her when she was the first one to present her book review. She did a great job.
Madi seemed to enjoy the film studies unit we did second term. She is quite creative and authentic with her
character dialogue. I hope she continues to write beyond this course. I recommend she start keeping a journal at
home to practice and develop her writing style.

Term 3 Comments: Throughout the term students focused on using inquiry skills to gather, interpret and analyze
ideas and data with the topics of cultural identity, WWI and the interwar years. Madison has demonstrated skills
within the proficient to extending range this term as evidenced by discussions, assignments, and other learning
experiences. Madison is actively engaged and considerate in the classroom, communicative with the teacher, and
reflective in her work. She is building her assessment skills to better understand significance of events and ideas
and locate them within a broader context of time periods and global events. Throughout the term, some
adjustments have been made to assignments' length to support Madison; however, her commitment to engaging
fully with the content and course expectations has fueled her ability to complete assignments in a timely manner
reflective of the criteria and beyond. I would encourage Madison to continue engaging her inquiry skills in the
upcoming semester to find connections between the course content and particular events, ideas, or people that
peak her interest.

Term 4 Comments: Madison is an actively engaged and considerate learner, communicative with the teacher,
and reflective in her work. This term, Madison worked hard to demonstrate her learning in a variety of formats
reflective of excellent critical thinking and analysis abilities. Well done this semester, Madison, and have a
wonderful summer!

Term 1 Comments: Madison, you have had a good start in Textiles.You are able to effectively maintain an
efficient and safe workspace. You are aware of others in your area, and offer tools, suggestions, or resources for
their projects. You have had a solid start to the semester, reminding yourself of what you already know, and
continuing to build on those skills. I have been impressed with your willingess to explore potential new ideas, and
your textiles curiosity overall! I encouage you to keep an inspiration board of textile items that you find
interesting, and we can use that to help identify the next projects and skills you would like to learn about!

Term 2 Comments: Madison, you have had a good semester in Textiles. You are able to identify design goals.
Madi, you have worked with a wide range of tools and techniques this year. You are working on having more
professional finishes for your projects, specifically "pretty guts," remember to start slowly, carefully cut out all
pieces and keep them pinned together or in a bag so that they don't get lost. Sometimes it can be helpful to keep
a checklist of the steps of a project and that will help you work in little chunks. You have grown as a sewist, and I
know you will continue to learn with practice!

Term 3 Comments: One of the main learning standards we have focused on this term is to intentionally select
and combine materials, processes, and technologies to convey ideas. Madison is currently at a proficient level
overall as evidenced through planning, sketches, observations, and creative exploration. Your sgraffito plate
demonstrates your ability to clearly express ideas and fully incorporate image development strategies in your
projects. Your excitement for learning the wheel is contagious in the classroom. You think deeply about your ideas
for projects. Continue to demonstrate awareness of self and place in the artwork you make. To expand your
practice as a 3D artist I encourage working on technical skills, exploration of new materials and attending art
shows to see what is happening in contemporary art.

Term 4 Comments: This semester, we focused on creating three-dimensional artwork using sensory inspiration,
imagination, and inquiry, while also reflecting personal voice and visually representing our connection to land.
Madison is currently at a proficient level overall as evidenced through development of ideas, refinement of skills
and self-reflection. Your ceramics skills have consistently improved over this semester. Your patience and
reflection have matured your artistic practice. You have been effective in communicating ideas, emotions and
perspectives through form. Your cow plate showcases highly proficient hand-building and decorating techniques,
with clear attention to detail and creativity. For development of artistic skills I encourage you to participate in
extracurricular art activities to further enhance your skills and exposure to different artistic styles and techniques.
Madi, I have really enjoyed having you in my class. You are a great teacher, helping other students when you see
the need. I hope to have you in a future art class.
