Mid-Semester Teacher Comments on Student Progress
As part of our communication timeline on student progress, teacher comments related to your child’s learning were posted on PowerSchool as of Monday, April 22nd. These comments are an important component of our learning feedback system as they specifically address areas of strength, areas to target for growth, and specific strategies that your child can take to demonstrate further progress. Earlier this week, during advisory, your child engaged in a reflection and goal setting process based on the mid-semester comments. We encourage you to review the comments and your child’s reflection together so that you can engage in a rich discussion around his/her learning.

Head Lice
Dear parents,
We have been informed of cases of head lice in G8.
Please read the attached updated advisory with recommended treatment guidelines.
Please note that nurses no longer do dry hair checks as it is not a reliable source of detection.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Kind Regards,
June D’Mello,
ISB Health Co-ordinator.
