Dear Parents,
Welcome to a new school year! I am Mr. S. Linklater, and I will be your child’s teacher this school year at St. Francis of Assisi. We will be using the standards-based report card to inform you of your child’s progress and achievement.
Although the report card is an important part of home and school communication, it is not the only way to know how your child is doing. Throughout the year, your child will be working on many activities that will help him or her learn new concepts and skills. Please take the time to review some of these activities and assignments with your child. They will give you various sources of information about what your child is learning. Also, please review your child’s planner daily. It will contain homework assignments and notes from me when needed. Please write any comments or questions you have for me in the planner as well.
At the end of each term, the report card will contain grades based on your child’s achievement. These grades will be based on a variety of evidence such as projects, presentations, tests, observations, and conversations.
Lastly, the report card also has a section on the General Learner Skills for all students in all grade levels. These are the positive behaviors and skills that lead to success in work, home and school. I will let you know how often your child demonstrates these behaviors. Please support your child by checking if your child completes homework daily, asking your child what he or she is learning, and helping your child work and play well with others.

I will be posting updates on this site with regards to upcoming events and major assignments. I will not be able to post information on a daily basis, so continue to review and sign your child's agenda each day.
If you ever have any questions or concerns please contact me at 705-431-5711.
Sincerely,
Mr. S. Linklater
