Portfolio Submissions

I encourage you to use this time of the school year to sit down with your child and go through the work that has been completed over the past couple of months. Talk about what has been accomplished well, goals for the next term, favourite projects or activities, etc. Use this time as a learning experience for your child.

For those families on the DLI - Individualized program, the parent and child can work together in choosing what to include in his/her portfolio. Some ideas for presenting your portfolio include: using folders for various subject areas, using a binder divided into subject areas, using an electronic web album (like Picasa), or simply placing everything into a big envelope.
