CONNECTIONS WITH FAMILIES

Staying in touch and Parent / Carer Tips

ONGOING PORTFOLIOS​

​

Throughout each term, Tightrope Learning will be collecting data and evidence of your child's learning and development to show growth and goal achievement. This will be a beautiful keepsake memory of your child's time at Tightrope Learning. It will also be a useful tool when meeting your child's Kindergarten teacher/s for the first time.

​

WRITTEN REPORT​

​

At the completion of your child's final Tightrope Learning year, you will receive a report of what your child has been taught, what they achieved and a "Where to from here" recommendation section to pass onto your child's Kindergarten teacher/s.

​

PARENT TIPS

​

Parents often ask how they can assist their child at home. Tightrope Learning also teaches parents and carers practical ways to teach your child various concepts at home, using everyday household materials as resources. Keeping up with the methods which teachers use at school is vital when it's time for homework so as to keep everything consistent and familiar to your child.

​

TAKE HOME PACKS

​

After your child has been initially assessed and a program has been set, your child may have needs which could be practised at home before attending the next week's session. Whether it be in Literacy, Numeracy, a Fine Motor or Social skill, a take home pack with instructions and resources may be taken home for the week, practiced and then returned for another child to use.
