Different Methods of Assessment and Evaluation
As a parent, your interest in your child’s learning can have a tremendous impact on his or her learning
progress. You may have questions about how to become involved in your child’s learning. Things may have
changed since you were at school; for example, the idea of student self‐ assessment and the use of
portfolios, or the ideas of assessment “for” learning and assessment “of” learning.
What may have remained the same, however, is the importance of providing children with descriptive and
constructive feedback about their own learning. In doing so, children begin to understand what they learned
well and what they can do to improve their learning. Providing a clear picture about the next steps for
learning is referred to as assessment “for” learning.
There are many different methods teachers use to assess your child’s learning. A student’s grades are
formed by a combination of the following which may vary by grade level:
Observational checklists
Work samples
Quizzes and tests
Assignments
Tasks
Performances
Mid‐term and end of term examinations (starting at grade 7 only)
Your knowledge about the variety of methods can help you talk to your child about his or her learning at
school. At the secondary school, final examinations account for only 30 % of the final mark. The remainder of
the student’s marks is from the term work as outlined above.
Assessment “for” and “of” learning
Providing descriptive and constructive feedback to children and involving them in self‐assessment, record
keeping, and communication about their learning is called assessment “for” learning. Assessment “for” learning
helps students understand whether they need to improve their learning and how they might improve it.
Students tend to be motivated to learn more when they know what they have done well.
Last Revision: 11 December 2017
Heritage International School Parent Handbook Page 12 of 34 www.heritageinternationalschool.com
Sometimes students are provided with evaluative feedback, which tells the learner how she or he has
performed compared to what was to be learned. This is also called assessment “of” learning and may be
reported using letters, numbers, or other symbols on a report card or within a grading period.
Both assessment “for” and “of’ learning provide useful information. The classroom teacher uses both forms
of assessment to help make decisions about teaching and to help students learn more. Sometimes evaluative
information provides a picture of how a large group of students is performing within a particular program at a
certain point in time. Both forms of assessment provide information that may help teachers, administrators,
students, and parents work collaboratively to support a child’s learning progress.
Levels of Achievement – Grades 1 to 6
The following “Levels of Achievement” shall be assigned to indicate your child’s performance on the
Early Years Progress Reports from Grades 1 to 6:
Level 4 Students who attained an assessment of level 4 have consistently demonstrated
the expected knowledge, understanding, and application of skills.
Level 3 Students who attained an assessment of level 3 have usually demonstrated the
expected knowledge, understanding, and application of skills.
Level 2 Students who attained an assessment of level 2 have demonstrated some of the
expected knowledge, understanding, and application of skills.
Level 1 Students who attained an assessment of level 1 have demonstrated limited
expected knowledge, understanding, and application of skills.
Progress Reports (Grades 1‐6)
Progress reports are given to parents at the end of each term: 1, 2 and 3. The Progress Report focuses on
the student’s development of understanding ‐ what has been achieved, what must now be addressed, and how
this next step can be reasonably accomplished.
A student’s personal management and teamwork skills, behaviour, discipline, and attitude are part of daily
teaching and learning in the classroom. If there is room for improvement, the teacher should indicate what he
or she is doing and what the student must do. The parent’s role is one of informed support.
An interim report will be issued in term 1 to all students. At risk reports will be sent only to those students
having academic or behaviour issues in terms 2 and 3.
Promotion and Grade Placement of Early Years Students
All children develop in different stages and at different rates. Children within an early year’s classroom
or grade level may vary in age by nearly 12 months. Some children acquire literacy and numeracy skills at an
early age but then move along the developmental learning continuum at different paces. Other children may
acquire these skills later but may acquire further skills at a faster pace. Still other children may be at different
Last Revision: 11 December 2017
Heritage International School Parent Handbook Page 13 of 34 www.heritageinternationalschool.com
places on the English as a Second Language continuum. Therefore, when grade placement for a child may be in
question, the Principal will make the decision on the child’s placement as per Manitoba’s Ministry Regulations.
Levels of Achievement – Secondary School
The teachers assess each student with several different methods. The student’s progress is rated according
to: observational checklists, work samples, quizzes and tests, assignments, tasks in projects and performances in
such subjects as music and physical education.
There are also end of term or semester examinations for many compulsory and elective courses. As a
student progresses through each month and term of the year’s work, he or she will accumulate marks in each of
several categories. The teachers assign a weight value to the categories so that there is a certain value placed on
the daily learning, and a certain value placed on being able to recall learned material in the form of test answers.
These marks accumulate through the semester year, from one term to the next. Depending on which
course your student is in the weighting value can change.
For example in a course it may be:
Homework assignments 10%
Assignments in class 10%
Spot quizzes 15%
Projects 20%
Unit Tests 15%
Final Exam 30% (midterms up to 10%)
Total 100%
An assessment method such as this requires that students work to the best of their abilities throughout the
complete year. Thinking that a student may pass the course by doing well on the final examination will not be
acceptable if the student does not concentrate on daily and weekly assignments and quizzes.
Individual Secondary School Class grades are based on the following Scale:
Numerical Grade Percentage Grade Letter Grade Grade Point Average
4 90 – 100 A+ 4.5
80 – 89 A 4.0
3 76 – 79 B+ 3.5
70 – 75 B 3.0
2 66 – 69 C+ 2.5
60 – 65 C 2.0
1/Not Demonstrated 50 – 59 D 1.0

Honour Roll
Students whose average mark (arithmetic mean) on all courses studied during the term is 90% or higher
with no mark below 75% shall be considered as “High Honours Students.” The list of "Honour Students" shall be
posted on the school website and displayed in a distinguished place in the school's reception area. Student will
receive an Honours Certificate if they achieve an average between 80‐89% with no mark below 67%.
Academic Probation
Any secondary student (grades 7‐12) will be placed on academic probation for the following reasons:
Term average of less than 60%
1 failing grade
3 or more D or F grades (less than 60%)
Students will remain on Academic Probation for the equivalent of 1 academic year. The continued
enrollment at Heritage International School of students placed on academic probation is at risk if the student
does not show significant improvement over the equivalent of an academic year.
Students Academically “At Risk”
Any secondary student (grades 7‐12) will be deemed academically at risk for the following reasons:
If the student has an individual subject average below 60%
If the student’s teacher feels there is a strong likelihood that he/she will not pass
Students who are academically “at risk” may be required to take steps to remedy their academic standing,
such as attending after school sessions, or immediately turning in incomplete assignments. Failure to comply
with such recommendations increases the risk to the student’s academic standing and could potentially result in
further steps being taken by the Heritage School administration.
Last Revision: 11 December 2017
Heritage International School Parent Handbook Page 15 of 34 www.heritageinternationalschool.com
Absent on a Test, Presentation or Project Due Date
If a student is absent on a test or major project day the student’s parent(s) will be contacted that day and
will be informed of what the student is missing. During the phone call the parent will be informed of the date
the re‐test or presentation is scheduled for. Projects should be handed in immediately upon return and essays
should be emailed to the teacher that day.
Parent(s) are to remember that late assignments may have marks deducted, that proper documentation of
the absence is required by the school and if the student is absent on the re‐schedule day the student may be “at
risk” of receiving a zero for that assignment, project, test, etc.
Students who miss an original test date will be given a “B” test/exam. This test/exam is more in depth than
the original test. Students writing on a re‐schedule date have had more time to prepare and the test will reflect
this.
If students will require more than 1 day to complete the test parents will be informed of this and students
who do not come to school on these days may be “at risk” of receiving a zero on the part they have missed.
Incomplete Grades
An incomplete grade may be recorded in cases where part of the coursework has not been turned in prior to
the end of the term. This may be due to late enrolment, family emergency, extended absences, or other
extenuating circumstances.
Incomplete grades during the term or semester are also issued for Grade 9 to 12 Arabic Courses and Grade
11 and 12 Physical Education. Final standing in these courses are assessed on a complete or incomplete basis
during the final reporting period for that course. If it has been successfully completed the course will then be
recorded as complete.
Incomplete Assignments
It is crucial to a student’s academic success at Heritage, that assigned work be completed on time. Such
habits are an invaluable part of student’s development and carry benefits which extend beyond the classroom.
Any student who does not meet an assignment deadline at Heritage School invites the risk of an immediate
deduction of 10% of the assignment’s value. Failure to meet the 2nd deadline can result in a deduction of 30% off
of the assignments value. The circumstances surrounding the failure to turn in such an assignment will be taken
into account by the classroom teacher.
Should a failure to meet assignment deadlines become an obvious trend, either in a specific subject or in
general, the student risks more severe consequences; including the awarding of a “zero grade” for any work
which is currently incomplete, as well as for any missed assignment deadlines in the future.
Last Revision: 11 December 2017
Heritage International School Parent Handbook Page 16 of 34 www.heritageinternationalschool.com
Failing to Pass a Course in Final Term
If any student in grades 7 and 8 has 1 or 2 failing grades in either of (English, Arabic, Mathematics, Science
or Canadian Social Studies) the student must rewrite an examination(s) in the month of August prior to entry to
the next grade. The course(s) grade shall be adjusted to a grade of “D” (50%) if the examination(s) is passed.
This is to ensure that all students are working towards achieving the goal of competency in these subjects.
Failing more than two core subjects, (English, Arabic, Mathematics, Science, or Canadian Social Studies) will
result in a student being required to repeat their year in the same grade. Students in high school (grades 9‐12)
who fail compulsory courses (less than 50%) will be required to repeat the course the following academic year.
The students will need to meet with the principal / counselor in the beginning of the following academic
year to determine how to schedule the compulsory courses that have to be repeated.
If a student in Heritage School’s high school division fails numerous courses, it may severely complicate the
School’s ability to offer the necessary course schedules and harm that student’s pathway to graduation. Parents
and students need to understand that students are expected to receive 8 credits per year in order to meet the
Manitoba graduation requirements.
Report Cards
The Middle School academic year is divided into four terms. Grade 9 to 12 reports are divided by semesters
and terms. Reports cards are sent home at the end of each term or the middle and end of a semester. Report
cards include a grade for each class that the student is taking and a comment from each teacher. The teacher
comments may include a summary of the work covered during the preceding grading period and a summary of
the student's areas of strength or areas that need improvement.
Report cards provide important feedback to students and parents. Grades reflect individual progress and
performance and should not be used to compare one student against another.
Fines for lost or overdue library books, textbooks or unpaid school fees must be addressed before a report
card is issued.
Student‐led conferences with parents at the end of the first and third terms are scheduled to allow further
understanding of report card information.
An interim report will be issued in term 1 to all Grade 7 to 12 students. At risk reports will be sent only to
those students having academic issues in any term.
Eligibility for Athletic and Co‐Curricular Activities
Participation in athletic and co‐curricular activities can require a significant after‐school time commitment.
To ensure academic and co‐curricular balance for students, eligibility for activities is defined as:
Achieving a passing grade in all subjects.
Maintaining a minimum of a "C" average. (60‐69%)
Being in good academic standing (No Academic Probation or Academic Contract).

Academic Integrity – Plagiarism and Testing Violations
An important aspect of a fine school is its attempt to instill in students a sense of honour and high principles
that extend throughout and beyond academics. An essential feature of Heritage International School is its
commitment to an atmosphere of integrity and ethical conduct. Students learn and practice the personal
responsibility of vigorously maintaining a high standard of honesty, truth, fairness, civility, and concern for
others. Being regularly in the company of faculty who exemplify these qualities is an obvious asset to that
learning and practice.
Academic dishonesty is defined to include, but is not limited to, cheating, copying other’s work and
representing it as one’s own work (plagiarism), lying, inappropriate collaboration, dishonesty in examinations or
the writing of papers, dishonesty in producing homework, deliberate falsification of data, interference with
other students’ work, and copyright violations.
Plagiarism is a particular form of academic dishonesty and occurs whenever a student, intentionally or
unintentionally, uses someone else’s words, ideas, answers, or data without proper acknowledgment. Students
are responsible for knowing what academic honesty and dishonesty are. At the beginning of each semester,
faculty should inform students of the guidelines that they will use for academic honesty throughout the year,
with special attention to cheating and plagiarism. It is vitally important for students to know the difference
between cooperative learning, that is, those activities in which working together with other students is
permitted and those when relying on another student is dishonest and should not occur.
Penalties for infractions may include one or more of the following: resubmission of the work in question,
submission of additional work, and a lowered grade or loss of credit for the work in question. Each case of
academic dishonesty will be recorded and accumulate in a student’s file. Repeated cases of academic
dishonesty are regarded as suspension‐level offences and can also result in the student being placed on
behaviour probation.
Testing violations is defined to include, but is not limited to, cheating, talking, having materials that are not
permitted, having a phone, not following the testing procedures, sharing test questions, and clandestinely taking
the test without permission. Testing violations will result in a zero for the quiz, test or exam being taken.
Attendance Policy
Regular and punctual attendance is required of all students on all school days. This is a condition of
enrollment at the school. Daily regular attendance is mandatory because our classes are based on active
classroom learning. Students must be present in order to participate in interactive and investigative activities;
otherwise they will not reap the full benefits of the program. Teachers, administrators and parents should work
together to ensure that students miss as little school as possible. They must arrive to school on time. Students
in the High School division who fail to meet minimum Manitoba attendance requirements will not receive the
necessary credit in association with those courses, which damages a student’s prospects of graduation.
Last Revision: 11 December 2017
Heritage International School Parent Handbook Page 19 of 34 www.heritageinternationalschool.com
Absences in Grades 9‐12
Manitoba Education requires students to receive a certain number of instructional hours and complete
ALL assignment requirements in order to receive a credit for course completion. This means regardless of
assignment completion students who miss the equivalent of 10 classes may lose their credit for the course.
In situations where students sometimes miss classes due to illness or important family events such as
weddings or funerals, the parent needs to supply to the school with a medical note in cases of illness or a written
note a week in advance of a family event. These written documents will be taken into account before
withdrawing a student’s credit. Regardless of the reason for the absence, students may have to make up some
class time if they have missed more than 10 classes.
CRAM (Credit Recovery & Maintenance Program)
In order to assist students who are running the risk of losing their credit due to incomplete work or have
missed the equivalent of 10 classes, Heritage has instituted a program called CRAM. The student who is
approaching or has reached 10 absences will have his/her name submitted to the Guidance Counselor and
Secondary Vice Principal’s Office by noon of the last school day of the week.
The student will be notified to attend mandatory lunch hour class make‐up sessions. The student will be
required to attend 5 lunch classes from 12:15 to 12:45 to make up for 1.5 missed class instructional time. During
the lunch class students must bring work or reading associated with the class for which they are trying to make
up the instructional time and be actively engaged in their learning. Attendance and participation will be marked
by the supervisor.
Note the following is not acceptable:
Asking to leave the lunch class to talk to the student’s subject teacher.
Asking to leave the lunch class to get supplies.
Arriving after 12:15pm
Violating these in any way will result in the student not receiving attendance or participation marks for the
day. Furthermore, students who do not report to these mandatory sessions or do not successfully complete the
lunch hour classes will be referred to the Vice Principal of Secondary for further follow‐up to ensure course
completion and attendance.
Ketchup Lunch
A program similar to CRAM is also in place for the middle years. Ketchup Lunch is a place where middle
years students have the opportunity to catch up on missing homework, assignments, or projects during the first
half of the secondary lunch period. Students are welcome to go on their own free will or the teacher will direct
the student to go based on individual circumstances. It is set up in such a way that a core subject teacher will be
available every day. For example, a Math teacher may be available on Sunday, English on Monday, Social
Studies on Tuesday, etc. Ketchup Lunch runs from 12:05 – 12:30. Students are then dismissed to go eat lunch.

Bus Rules
Out of respect and for everyone’s safety, students must comply with the following procedures:
Go directly to the bus, find a seat and remain seated
Use the garbage bins provided
Stay seated until the bus comes to a complete stop
Talk in a quiet voice to the person next to you
Do not destroy any bus property
Students who are regularly late for their buses will be given a warning. If they continue being late the
parents will be contacted by the transportation department and told that their children will not be allowed to
use the school bus for one week.
Code of Conduct
Golden Rules
Do be honest, kind and helpful
Do work hard and always try your best
Do look after property
Do listen to and respect other people
Do follow adult instructions without arguing
Do treat other people as you want them to treat you
Be responsible; own your behaviour
This behaviour plan is designed to teach students how to make responsible choices which work for
everyone. Discipline is not only punishment, it is setting limits within the context of caring. We need to impress
upon children that they choose their behaviours and certain consequences may occur from those choices.
Our Code of Conduct is intended to assist children in being more responsible for their own behaviour. If
students clearly understand the consequences of their behaviours, they can choose their behaviours in an
intelligent and responsible way that ensures the rights of all children to enjoy the educational experience at
school. For a discipline policy to be effective, it must be consistent. To achieve this consistency, teachers,
parents, students, and administrators must share in the responsibility for upholding school rules.
TEACHERS are responsible for instructing their students on the rules of acceptable behaviour. They are also
responsible for applying proper consequences when a student's behaviour is inappropriate.
PARENTS are responsible for reviewing the rules of appropriate behaviour with their own child/children.
They are responsible too, for supporting and cooperating with the school in applying consequences which result
from inappropriate behaviour.
STUDENTS are responsible for their own actions. Once instructed by their teachers and parents regarding
appropriate behaviour at school, they are responsible for the decisions they make. When a student decides to
ignore school behaviour rules, he/she must accept the consequences of his/her actions. Failure to acknowledge
Last Revision: 11 December 2017
Heritage International School Parent Handbook Page 21 of 34 www.heritageinternationalschool.com
responsibility for one’s actions or to accept the consequences for them is regarded as “opposition to authority”
and can result in suspension and/or behaviour probation.
ADMINISTRATORS are responsible for setting‐up and supervising the implementation of the Code of
Conduct and for establishing a hierarchy of consequences and clear steps for students sent to the office for
disciplinary reasons.
Positive Reward/Behaviour Plan
Houses – Each student will be placed into a house. Points will be awarded by the homeroom teachers to
the students based on academics and behaviour. The homeroom teachers will all have a chart posted to keep
track of the points of each student. The houses will remain the same for the whole academic year. Each week
the points will be collected and tallied. The houses will be used for large school activities such as field day. At
the end of the year the house with the most points are the school's house champions. Their house name will be
placed on a trophy that remains in the school to be won by a new house the next year.
Golden Rules and Golden Time – Each classroom will have the golden rules posted in the classroom. The
rules will be made up with guidance by the students. They will be basic rules such as no hitting, be respectful, tell
the truth, etc. At the end of the week if the students have followed the rules they will be given golden time
(Thursday last period or half a period with the home room teacher). The students will agree on an indoor or
outdoor activity and get the time to play. They may bring toys and games to school on that day that the teacher
has agreed to. Any student that has not been following the golden rules may be removed from golden time or
have some time taken away from golden time. The class as a whole can also lose golden time if they are not
following the golden rules.
Other methods of positive rewards may include:
Academic Certificates – Certificates will be given to students who have excelled in their academic
achievements.
School Certificates – Certificates will be given to students who have perfect attendance in a term and
for the whole year. Character Education certificates are also awarded to students who exemplify
positive character traits.
Classroom Certificates – Each teacher will have classroom certificates to hand out to the students for
outstanding behaviour, academics or achievements. Examples include spelling, reading, improved
behaviour, perfect test, helpful.
Behaviour/Consequence Plan
If a student chooses to make inappropriate behaviour choices, the student should be warned. If the
behaviour is repeated and/or the warning has not changed the student's inappropriate behaviour, there will be a
consequence.
Older children will write an incident report describing the details of the incident. The purpose of this
communication is to have the teacher remind the student of the possible effects of the inappropriate behaviour
choices. It also serves as an intervention strategy to deter a behaviour concern from continuing.
Level 1 behaviours should be referred to the classroom teacher. The parents will be contacted if the school
sees a need to do so. If the problem becomes an issue, it will be dealt with as a Level 2. However, if the

Heritage International School Parent Handbook Page 25 of 34 www.heritageinternationalschool.com
The first and most important policy consideration when considering technology in the classroom is
and will remain teacher preference. Therefore, teachers at Heritage International School will have the
right to set a more restrictive but not a more liberal technology policy for their classrooms than what is
prescribed below.
The use of cellular and smart phone technology (including tablets) and computers will be restricted to
the following parameters. We consider these parameters to be what we term responsible use. The use of
cellular and smart‐phones shall be permitted in classrooms, under the following conditions:
1. Cellular and smart phones shall be permitted if and only if the classroom teacher has given an
explicit instruction that permits their use.
2. Cellular and smart phones use shall be permitted only for relevant learning‐based activities,
examples of which range from internet based research, email, image search, or other clear and
explicit teacher‐directed uses.
3. Teachers shall reserve the right to withdraw permission for and use of this technology if misuse
occurs.
4. In the event of the misuse of this technology, the current consequence protocol (1st, 2nd, 3rd
infraction) will remain in effect and be administered by the Secondary office.
5. Students will risk loss of privilege if they are found to be misusing the technology. This includes
but is not limited to taking inappropriate photos, videos, sending messages or any form of
cyber‐bullying. Students caught participating in these or other inappropriate activities risk the
most severe consequence allowable.
6. Teachers will be given a Professional Development seminar at the beginning of each school year
which focuses on helping them understand, implement and adapt this policy for their
classrooms.
7. All technology items mentioned here will continue to be banned outside of the classrooms.
Students are not permitted to use cellular phones, smart phones, tablets or computers in any
other school area during school hours. If they are found to be in contravention of this rule, their
phones will be confiscated as they would be under our current policy. Students are not
permitted to listen to music on their personal device well at school.
8. Any student caught or suspected of filming or otherwise capturing any image on school
grounds without permission will be subject to having their technology privileges revoked for
one school calendar year.
9. All students will read, discuss and sign the Responsible Technology Use policy before being
permitted to participate in this procedure.
10. Students assume absolute liability for any and all technology‐based items that they bring to
school, use or borrow. Heritage International School and individual teachers take no
responsibility for the private property of students in this regard.
