Hello Peace Bridge Families,
Progress Reports
On Thursday, November 21, students in kindergarten will bring home the Communication of Learning Initial Observations report. This provides parents/guardians with an overview of the initial observations of their child’s learning and early evidence of growth in learning related to the overall expectations in the Kindergarten Program. It also provides information about appropriate next steps to further your child’s learning. It serves as the basis for discussion with parents/guardians and as support for parents’/guardians’ ongoing participation in their child’s learning.
Also, on November 21, families of students in Grades 1-8 will receive their Elementary Progress Reports. Although it looks much like the Report Card, the Progress Report has a very different intent. The purpose is to share early and specific feedback on your child’s development of work habits and the learning skills. Reporting on the Progress Report is about looking forward and setting a course for the learning journey ahead.
The Progress Report does not include letter grades or percentage marks for academic subjects; it instead identifies whether your child is progressing very well, well or with difficulty. For subjects in which your child is ‘Progressing with Difficulty’, the teacher will discuss specific next step plans needed for success.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
You should have received an email or note from your child’s teacher regarding setting up a time to meet to discuss your child’s progress. If you haven’t received the email or note, please contact your child’s teacher or the school.

Charity License and Bingo Revenue
Peace Bridge Public School is fortunate to have a charity license that provides the school with the opportunity to earn revenue for student enrichment. Our charity license is maintained by attending bingo as volunteers at our local Delta – Uncle Sam’s Bingo Hall. The money that is raised through volunteering benefits the entire school. School Council works together to make creative decisions and purchases with the bingo profits to benefit our students.

Purchases Made with Bingo Revenue
Our school was recently able to purchase a class set of Chromebooks with money raised through bingo volunteering. With this purchase, the DSBN will include this set of Chromebooks with the regularly scheduled technology upgrades for the school. These devices provide access to valuable parts of the student’s curriculum. This was a substantial purchase that would not have been possible without our volunteers and the additional funds that were earned through our participation at our bingo assignments.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about this excellent opportunity!
