Each year we report on student progress every term. In terms 1 and 3 we hold student conferences, and in terms 2 and 4 we write mid year or end of year report comments.
Reports comments are added to the '2022 Report' page on Hero. This is the main learning page you have for your child on Hero, which shows the large green dials for each main learning area. Underneath all of the dial diagrams, you will find your child's mid year report comment, along with co-curricular reports if your child takes any co-curricular lessons. Students will have been shown their report at school on Wednesday, and once students have seen their report, they will be made live for parents and whānau to view.
Each report comment includes the following:
- A 'General / Whānau teacher comment' which has been written by your child's whānau teacher and moderated by other teachers in the team. This includes a general overview of your child's learning and behaviour for the year
- An 'Ākonga comment' which has been written by your child. This may include information about what they like doing at school, how they interact with their friends and peers, and particular events or aspects of note so far this year
- A short explanation of what the hub has been focusing on in communication arts (inquiry, reading, writing, oral language) and maths
- Te Ako Mapi - for students in Pōhutuakwa Hub, your child's learning map will be linked at the bottom of their report. Your child will be able to tell you more about this.
Where to find the report comment
Log into your Hero account and click on the photo of your child. This will take you directly to their main '2022 Report' page. This page will show you your child's achievement in reading, writing, journey of growth and development (social and emotional development), and maths. Under the maths information you will find their 2022 midyear report comment. Please click on 'read more' to view the whole report.
Please note that at the very bottom of your child's report page, you can find their attendance information for each term this year. This will be shown in two large dials, one for each term. The darker green section shows the percentage of time at school, the light green shows the number of late days recorded, red shows the percentage of time away for an unjustified reason, and orange shows time away for a justified reason (such as sickness, household isolation, bereavement, or other educational endeavours). You can hover your cursor over each section to see information about the number of half days in each section.
If you have any trouble finding or viewing your child's report comment, please don't hesitate to contact your child's whānau teacher and they will assist you with this.
Warm regards,
The Amesbury team
