Dear Families,
We are approaching the mid-point of the year and will be sharing report cards with families on Monday. Please take the time to read through your child's report card and if you have any questions, please reach out to your child's teacher.
Report Cards and IPPs Available Starting Monday January 27th
Families will be able to view online student report cards for Kindergarten – Grade 12 students on Jan. 27th. Report cards for the 2024-25 school year can be viewed, downloaded and printed. Parents and guardians can log in to MyCBE to view student information including report cards, comments from your child’s teacher and attendance information. For best access to information, log in to the MyCBE portal instead of using the PowerSchool app. For more information or support, please visit the CBE website.
If your child has an Individual Program Plan (IPP), it will be sent home with your child for your review and signature.
Kindergarten teachers will report progress to parents/legal guardians via January and June report cards. In January, progress in English Language Arts and Literature (ELAL) and Mathematics will be communicated to parents/legal guardians via the report card. In June, progress in all discipline areas will be communicated to parents/legal guardians via the report card.
Literacy Week January 26th - February 2nd
Families across Calgary are invited to join the Calgary Board of Education in celebrating Family Literacy Week from Jan. 26 to Feb. 2, with a focus on environmental learning through the theme “Learn to Be Green, Together.” The CBE Literacy & Early Learning Team has prepared a variety of information and activities to help families engage in meaningful learning at home and at school. Reading together or doing learning activities at home is crucial to a child’s learning and development. Please see the CBE website for details.
Here’s how we’ll be celebrating Literacy Week at Valley View School:
-School-wide literacy activity that will bring picture books to the forefront! The Picture Book Competition will surely get all students excited about their next read!
-Next week, each day will have a different theme focused on various aspects of literacy. Students will engage in activities that promote communication, conversation, vocabulary development, and exploration of fact-filled media.
-Spirit Week and Family BINGO! See the flyer for more details.
