Thank you to all the parents who attended the Parent Council meeting on Tuesday. We had a chance to share our SIP. You can also see our school's goals on last week's blog and the website.
This week, staff also had the opportunity to look at our EQAO results in detail. We will continue to work on areas where the students haven't done as well as expected: namely
A) Continue to explicitly teach how to answer "open response" and "multiple choice" type questions.
B) Continue to teach students how to make connections with text.
C) Teachers will review Long Range Plans and create an action plan to review units taught to the children in the fall, to better prepare them for Spring EQAO Assessment.
D) Teachers will continue to teach multi-step problems.
Finally, the TDSB has published the Years of Action 2013-2017 under the new direction of Director Donna Quan. It can be viewed on the TDSB website for your reference. It will be the foundation for LKS, and all schools, to use when creating their School Improvement Plans.
