Elementary

Evaluation and Assessment

Each child has a portfolio which contains examples of work from each unit studied and is added to continuously during the child's stay at the school. Benchmarks have been created for each grade level and a record of these is kept in the child's file. Teachers also keep extensive notes and checklists for each child. These notes and benchmarks are used to help discuss the child's progress at Parent-Teacher interviews, which are held 3 times a year. Regular phone calls home are made by the teachers to report on particular evidence of progress and to chat informally about how things are going. Fairs and open houses also provide opportunities for parents to see how their children are doing.
