Calvin's Thought of the Week:

“All things are difficult before they are easy.”
Thomas Fuller





Fixed Mindset x Growth Mindset



Today we discussed about the difference between Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset. “In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.” ( Dweck, 2015)






How is My Child Doing in School?
It’s important to know how your child is doing in school. Knowing more about your child’s interests, strengths and areas for development are critical to help you support your child’s learning.

What is the four-point scale? What does it tell me?
In K-9, the achievement indicators (Excellent-4, Good-3, Basic-2, Not Meeting-1) signify the extent to which a student has demonstrated achievement of Alberta Programs of Study outcomes organized by report card stem. Report card stems are categories used to organize the Alberta Programs of Study outcomes.
