Should you have any questions regarding the process of registering for high school, please reach out to your child’s teacher.

 

Report Cards:

By January 30^th, parents and guardians will be able to view student report cards in your MyCBE account. The report card is one of the ways teachers communicate how your child is progressing in their learning. Teachers may also communicate learning progress through parent/teacher conferences, your child’s daily work and assignments, and other ongoing communication with you.

 

One of the primary tools used at MPS is Brightspace by D2L. We recommend that parents sit together with their child to review each of their classes in the Brightspace online platform. Here, you will see updates on weekly assignments, content and resources. As always, you are encouraged to reach out to your child’s teachers with any questions or concerns at any point in the school year.  

 

Grade 6 – What to Expect in Your Child’s Report Card  

CBE began implementing the new Alberta Education Curriculum:  

 

• Fall 2022 start:  

·       Mathematics (K-3) 

·       English Language Arts and Literature (K-3)  

·       Physical Education and Wellness (K-6)  

• Fall 2023 start:  

·       Mathematics (4-6) 

·       English Language Arts and Literature (4-6)  

·       French Language Arts and Literature (K-3) 

·       Science (K-3) 

In the new curriculum, some things students learn may be new or may have previously been taught in higher grades. Students could be missing foundational pieces from previous grades, and their report card indicators might not be as high as before. This is expected when there is a new curriculum. It might take more than one school year to build these foundational skills. Even though each grade has its own curriculum, many ideas come up again each year, helping students to build on what they already know and do well. 

 

Teachers continue to make learning interesting and inspiring and are adapting to students' needs during this transition. Should you have questions about your child's learning, please reach out to their teacher.
