Dear Parents, Students and Staff,
Welcome to this week’s newsletter.
Assessment Weeks at HFS
As you will have noted from the Term Two overview, the next two weeks are our Assessment weeks. All students will have some form of assessment, with most having assessments in Mathematics, reading and writing. These assessments are to provide class teachers with an understanding of each student’s current level of attainment, against which progress can be measured throughout the coming academic year, and provide additional information for the planning of the necessary support or enrichment activities for each student. A summary of the assessment results will be provided on the Term Two interim report, and can be discussed in further detail at the Parent – Teacher conferences on Wednesday 8th March. Class assessment timetables can be found on the school website class pages. If you have any questions please contact your child’s class teacher.
During this time, please ensure that children get plenty of rest and relaxation, and avoid the temptation for cramming or revision sessions, or asking tutors to set additional work, as this will often have detrimental effects on student performance at this late stage.
May 1st 2017, Labour Day holiday
A note for your calendars regarding the Labour Day holiday as this was not previously included on the HFS calendar. HFS will be closed from the end of school on Friday 28th April and reopen at 0840 on Monday 8th May. Please contact the school office with any queries at admin@hyundaiforeignschool.com.
Please do enjoy a relaxing weekend.
