Bulldog Bulletin December 15 to 19, 2025
Principal’s Message: The EQAO results were released this week and can be found here: EQAO Results 2025. Highlights include an increase in the number of grade 3 and 6 students at or above grade level in writing for the third year in a row. 79% of our students are reading at or above grade level in both grades 3 and 6. Math scores saw a switch this year in that the grade 3 results dropped significantly, but the grade 6 results increased significantly. We have been implementing small group instruction, block check-ins, Knowledgehook, and the use of tools and representations to support student learning.
