Homework

DIS 2020 Homework Site

​

Welcome to the DIS homework page. Your child will receive homework from their teacher every Monday. They will be able to use this site to access and show you any activities they are currently working on. Unless they have been told otherwise they will be doing all the work in their homework book.

Having the work online helps our school reduce the amount of paper and photocopying we are currently using.

 

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to ask your classroom teacher.

Reporting to Parents

 

You will be informed of your child’s progress and achievements throughout the year.

Interviews will be held during term one to give you the opportunity to meet your child’s teacher and to discuss the student’s goals for the year.  Your child is an important part of this interview and we encourage all students to attend these interviews with their parents.  It is an opportunity for the child’s voice to be heard.

Mid year reporting to parents includes discussion around the student portfolio. These portfolios contain assessment information on curriculum that has been covered in the first half of the year.

At the end of the school year the student portfolios will go home again and there will be an opportunity for parent/teacher/student interviews if requested.  These portfolios also contain written reports which provide overall teacher judgements about your child's progress in Reading, Writing and Maths using the National Standards.

All assessment information gives an honest appraisal of your child’s progress and achievements.

Apart from formal reporting dates, staff may also contact parents throughout the year to share any concerns about achievement or behaviour and to celebrate successes.
