UPCOMING EQAO ASSESSMENTS

Between May 21 and June 3, students in Grade 3 and Grade 6 will be taking part in the provincial Assessment of Reading, Writing and Mathematics. This assessment is administered to all Grade 3 and Grade 6 students in Ontario’s publicly funded school system by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), an independent agency of the Government of Ontario.

This assessment consists of two booklets assessing language and a third booklet assessing mathematics. Each booklet is made up of two sections, for a total of six sections. Each section will take about one hour to complete. The administration of the six sections will be spread out across the two-week window.

An information letter, including schedules, will be coming home shortly. If you have any questions about this assessment, please contact the school.
SCHOOL COUNCIL NEWS

The Jack Miner School Council met on April 9th to discuss many ideas for allocating recent EDDK fundraiser funds. With the support and suggestions from Mr. Huggard and Mrs. Adlam, it was decided to contribute to the new library furniture (such a nice upgrade-check it out!), a new iPad for every home room, Music and French resources (as requested by staff) and a FIT-month special speaker.

As we enter into the busiest time of the school year, we would love to see you at the next May meeting as we plan and volunteer for upcoming events.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday, May 14th, 2019 at 6:00 p.m.  Please feel free to join us!
Math Help For Students in Grades 7 to 12!

This year, all students in grades 7 - 10 have access to free online math tutoring through TVO's Mathify. This free math tutoring service is available from Sunday to Thursday nights between 5:30-9:30pm.

In order for students to access this valuable resource, they will need to register online at : www.tvomathify.com, using their Ontario Education Number, which can be found on their provincial report card, and a valid email address. This registration information will also be shared out through classroom teachers.

Your child’s birth date and Ontario Education Number must also be sent to TVO, a partner with the Ministry of Education. The GECDSB will send this information on your behalf.

However, if you do not want your child's information to be sent, please leave a voicemail with David Gomes, at 519-255-3200 extension 10226, by Wednesday, October 17. Mathify's online math tutoring is one of many supports available to students of the GECDSB, where we are building tomorrow together - every learner, every day.
