Communication of Student Learning. Assessed Curriculum,Evaluation, and Reporting. Summative Assessments andStudent Achievement.

Veracross is the platform for teachers to indicate daily

attendance, facilitate document sharing, access studentdemographic information and calendar events, and, mostimportantly, document student assessments. Additionally,Veracross allows teachers to provide comments andevaluative feedback to students and families.

Veracross is a tool to help us communicatewith studentsand families and to keep records of assessments,progressand achievement- so that evaluation of studentlearning is continuous and transparent.

Veracross provides teachers with the opportunity to shareresources with students.

Teachers will indicate assessments via Veracross.Assessments must be continuous and providecomprehensive evidence to support the final evaluation,using a range of assessment tasks and types. Teachersattach rubrics and tasks through grade book, along with any

necessary resources through their libraries. Minimum one-week notification for students for all

assessments leading to evaluation. Homework, a nonevaluated assessment, may be assigned on a daily basis.

Teachers use Veracross to report on assessments beinghanded in or not, as well as on achievement levels for

summative assessment tasks. Teachers use Veracross to communicate to students and

families when assessments are set and due dates.
