Grade Configurations Announced
Lately…
Mr. Flett’s Grade 5s are learning about newspapers!
Prairie Spirit School Division hosted a panel discussion entitled “Do Grades Matter?”
Sandra Herbst worked with students and teachers in Mrs. Georgacacos’s Grade 6 class. We learned about how to work together to create criteria for a task so everyone knows how to meet the target. Thanks Sandra!
Panel Discussion
Just a reminder that Prairie Spirit School Division is pleased to invite you to a panel discussion called “Do Grades Matter?” featuring Sandra Herbst (visiting consultant), Michelle Prytula (U of S), Ian Kripps (Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation) , Lori Jeschke (PSSD), and Janet McVittie (U of S). This event will start at 7:00 pm on Monday, February 3rd in the WCMS theatre. This will be a great opportunity to learn and ask questions about the rationale for our new assessment system. All are welcome!!
