New Entrant Reporting
Across the school we provide updated curriculum comments every term on a rotational basis:
General Comment and Tamariki Reflection (Term 1) + Learning Conferences
Writing and Maths (Term 2) + Celebration Assembly
Reading and other curriculum (Term 3) + Learning Conferences + Celebration Assembly
General Comment and Tamariki Reflection (Term 4)
Our reports have two milestones (mid and end of year.) Regardless of when your tamariki starts, these milestones are generated automatically by Hero. In the early stages of your tamariki schooling when you review their progress it may state that your tamariki is working ‘below the expectations.’ Please be aware this milestone does not adjust to when each tamariki actually starts school and may not be an accurate description of how they are doing.
Progress and achievement will vary in the first 6 -12 months for new entrant tamariki. If you have any concerns about your tamariki progress our teachers are more than happy to discuss these with you. After 12 months at school, your tamariki will fit into our regular Hero assessment schedule and will receive comments at the times stated above.
Depending on when your tamariki started at Marshland the following will occur:
If your tamariki started at the beginning of the school year you will receive a 10 week settling in comment from their Homeroom teacher. The focus of this comment will be around how your tamariki has adjusted to life at school, how well they are getting along with others,’ attitude towards learning, behaviour etc.
If your tamariki started between Week 1 and Week 6 of any given term then you will receive their settling in comment at the end of the term, to align with the rest of the school.
If your tamariki started after Week 6 of any given term you will receive their settling in comment early on in the following school term.
The classroom teacher will communicate with you to confirm when you will receive your first report.
*Note Hero will only work after your tamariki has had their first official day at school
