The draft policy, Assessment, Evaluation and Reporting, has been sent out to the Bluewater system for review by parents, community, principals and teachers. It will be available through SCCs, principals and Union presidents. It is based on the new Ministry policy document, Growing Success, which in its draft form caused some controversy concerning the handling of missed or late student assignments.
There are changes from the draft version, and this is the opportunity for interested stakeholders to have a look and provide their input - all suggestions will be carefully considered when the policy returns to the trustees in February for final adoption. This review is the board's way of consulting with the broader community, so we hope a number of people will take the time to read the Bluewater draft policy and let us know what you think.
Because this new policy is mandated to be implemented the start of this month, some of the changes will be evident in the first report cards as well as in requirements for student assignments.
Please post any questions you might have and I will be happy to respond.
