Those learners who do their work
and submit on time are a true pleasure to teach!
Involved parents make a huge
difference to the progress of their children!
We thank you in anticipation of
your support!
Due dates
for class work activities, projects and assignments
Each term, a timetable is given to every
child to take home, giving the due dates for formal
assessment activities for each subject. These dates need to
be displayed clearly at home, so that both parents and
children are well-aware. Children need to adhere strictly
to the given dates. Teachers also have due dates for
marks!
-
The problem often arises when the
learners are given time in class to do the work and they
arrive unprepared with the research, pictures etc.
needed to complete the activity.
-
Parents please check that your child
is pasting in the homework sheet in their diary each
Monday and check that your child comes to school,
prepared for lessons. Please sign these homework
sheets to show that you are monitoring them.
-
Some learners also do not complete
work, in the time given and take it home to complete,
but then fail to complete and also do not hand in the
work by the due date.
Learning to meet deadlines is an
important life skill. We request that parents reinforce
what we are trying to teach our children with regard to good
work ethic and to monitor their child’s progress as due
dates approach.
KEEP FORMAL ASSESSMENT
TIMETABLE CLEARLY VISIBLE AT HOME!
The policy with regard to work
being handed in late will be as follows:
-
Work not handed in on the due
date – the learner loses 10% of the maximum
marks.
-
Work still not handed in on the
next school day - will receive zero.
-
The above also applies to
prepared speeches and reading.
-
If a child is absent it is
imperative that parents complete Pg 9 in the
diary as proof, as verbal excuses will not be
accepted. It is the absent child’s responsibility
to speak to the teacher concerned and to catch up
work promptly on return to school.
-
Children must also be prepared
for oral work. E.g. speeches, prepared reading on
the due date.
Please support the teachers in
their endeavour to teach our c
