Collaboration Across the South End

Teachers and principals from our South End elementary schools gathered this Saturday to mark the Foundational Skills Assessments—a meaningful opportunity to collaborate, connect, and deepen our shared understanding of early learning across the district.

For us at École 100 Mile Elementary, this work aligns closely with our school-wide focus on cohesive foundational practices in the primary years. By sitting alongside colleagues from neighbouring schools, we gain valuable perspective on how foundational literacy and numeracy skills are developing in classrooms beyond our own. This helps us refine our approaches, align practices, and better understand the needs of South End learners as a whole.

Joint marking not only strengthens consistency and calibration, but also reminds us that we are part of a broader learning community. When educators come together—sharing insights, comparing trends, and reflecting on student learning—we build a stronger, more unified foundation for every child.

Collaboration. Connection. Cohesive practice.
All in service of our youngest learners and their growing confidence.
